38  * Decoding Python Stack Frames
39  * ============================
40  *
41  * Python2 uses a variety of objects to construct its call chain.  An address
42  * space may have one or more PyInterpreterState objects, which are the base
43  * object in the interpreter's state.  These objects are kept in a linked list
44  * with a head pointer named interp_head.  This makes it possible for the
45  * debugger to get a toehold on data structures necessary to understand the
46  * interpreter.  Since most of these structures are linked out of the
47  * InterpreterState, traversals generally start here.
48  *
49  * In order to decode a frame, the debugger needs to walk from
50  * PyInterpreterState down to a PyCodeObject.  The diagram below shows the
51  * the objects that must be examined in order to reach a leaf PyCodeObject.
52  *
53  *                +--------------------+ next   +--------------------+ next
54  * interp_head -> | PyInterpreterState | ---->  | PyInterpreterState | ---> ...
55  *                +--------------------+        +--------------------+
56  *                  |                            | tstate_head
57  *                  | tstate_head                V
58  *                  |                 +---------------+  frame
59  *                  V                 | PyThreadState | -----> ...

68  *                                      |                       |
69  *                                      | f_code                | f_code
70  *                                      V                       V
71  *                              +--------------+               ...
72  *                              | PyCodeObject |
73  *                              +--------------+
74  *                 co_filename   |      |     | co_lnotab
75  *                 +-------------+      |     +-------------+
76  *                 |           co_name  |                   |
77  *                 V                    V                   V
78  * +----------------+          +----------------+         +----------------+
79  * | PyStringObject |          | PyStringObject |         | PyStringObject |
80  * +----------------+          +----------------+         +----------------+
81  *
82  * The interp_head pointer is a list of one or more PyInterpreterState
83  * objects.  Each of these objects can contain one or more PyThreadState
84  * objects.  The PyInterpreterState object keeps a pointer to the head of the
85  * list of PyThreadState objects as tstate_head.
86  *
87  * Each thread keeps ahold of its stack frames.  The PyThreadState object
88  * has a pointer to the topmost PyFrameObject, kept in frame.  The
89  * successive frames on the stack are kept linked in the PyFrameObject's
90  * f_back pointer, with each frame pointing to its caller.
91  *
92  * In order to decode each call frame, our code needs to look at the
93  * PyCodeObject for each frame.  Essentially, this is the code that is
94  * being executed in the frame.  The PyFrameObject keeps a pointer to this
95  * code object in f_code.  In order to print meaningful debug information,
96  * it's necessary to extract the Python filename (co_filename), the
97  * function name (co_name), and the line number within the file
98  * (co_lnotab).  The filename and function are stored as strings, but the
99  * line number is a mapping of bytecode offsets to line numbers.  The
100  * description of the lnotab algorithm lives here:
101  *
102  * http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Objects/lnotab_notes.txt
103  *
104  * In order to decode the frame, the debugger needs to walk each
105  * InterpreterState object.  For each InterpreterState, every PyThreadState
106  * must be traversed.  The PyThreadState objects point to the
107  * PyFrameObjects.  For every thread, we must walk the frames backwards and
108  * decode the strings that are in the PyCodeObjects.
109  */
110 
111 /*
112  * The Python-dependent debugging functionality lives in its own helper
113  * library.  The helper agent is provided by libpython2.[67]_db.so, which
114  * is also used by pstack(1) for debugging Python processes.
115  *
116  * Define needed prototypes here.
