Subject:         * frame.c (get_prev_frame_1): Do not perform the inner_frame
X-Git-Tag: cgen-snapshot-20091101~3376
X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ed57e36cc84de10ed28dc50f2c7dc276de06a181;p=pf3gnuchains%2Fpf3gnuchains4x.git

    * frame.c (get_prev_frame_1): Do not perform the inner_frame
        sanity check if this_frame is not NORMAL.
        (frame_id_inner): Update the description of this function.
