Since +GCC's focus is on correctness of runtime unwinding, any registers which +have to be unwound will be specified; but unmodified registers will not +be explicitly marked. (How about modified, call-clobbered registers? +I'm not sure if they are marked as unavailable.) + +GDB issues a noisy warning about this. The warning is generally not useful, +and we can get it extremely frequently (any time we load a new CIE). + +This patch disables the warning. Alternately we could set the complaints +threshold to zero, or implement a default frame init-register method for +every architecture. But someday the compiler will support using different +calling conventions for internal functions, so that's not much of a stopgap. +ARM has a complex algorithm for handling this, involving scanning all CIEs - +benefit not completely clear outside of the ARM context of flexible register +sets. + +Index: gdb-6.3/gdb/dwarf2-frame.c +=================================================================== +--- gdb-6.3.orig/gdb/dwarf2-frame.c 2004-11-15 11:54:57.000000000 -0500 ++++ gdb-6.3/gdb/dwarf2-frame.c 2004-12-08 18:02:23.896409471 -0500 +@@ -705,9 +705,12 @@ dwarf2_frame_cache (struct frame_info *n + table.
