Information on Frames

• Support all Frames with NeedsUpdateRegDisplay()==true
  • ResumableFrame [cDAC] Stack walk support more Frame types #112997
    • Stores a PTR_CONTEXT
  • TransitionFrame [cDAC] Stack walk support more Frame types #112997
    • Stores data in TransitionBlock
    • Tested with PrestubMethodFrame
    • Testing notes: Happens when JITing, set breakpoint during JIT to create a dump.
  • FaultingExceptionFrame [cDAC] Stack walk support more Frame types #112997
    • On x86, stores specific registers, otherwise stores a T_CONTEXT
    • Testing notes: Set breakpoint in ThrowControlForThread after it calls InitAndLink. Invoke with a two threaded process where one thread is doing work (loop checking volatile variable) and is cancelled using the following API: Implement ControlledExecution API #71661
    • Invokation through: RedirectForThrowControl2 ASM macro. THROW_CONTROL_FOR_THREAD_FUNCTION
  • SoftwareExceptionFrame - [cDAC] Implement core stackwalking #111759
    • Stores a copy of T_CONTEXT
  • FuncEvalFrame [cDAC] Stack walk support more Frame types #112997
    • Debugger test app use immediate window to call Console.ReadLine() while it is executing create a dump. Use OS to create a dump (or WinDBG as a non-invasive attach on the debugged process).
  • HelperMethodFrame
    • Stores LazyMachState
    • Planned to be removed.
  • HijackFrame [cDAC] Stack walk support more Frame types #112997
    • Set native breakpoint in the GC have second thread doing continuous CPU intensive work (loop checking volatile bool).
  • InlinedCallFrame - [cDAC] Implement core stackwalking #111759
    • Stores IP, SP, and FP directly.
  • TailCallFrame (Windows x86 only)

Mostly implemented in #111759 and #112997
