- unify UNW_IA64_AR_BSP and UNW_IA64_BSP - debuggers need additional frame info: - ability to determine first non-prologue instruction (gdb calls this skip_prologue) => this doesn't really make much sense for optimized code: there may be now single IP at which the .body starts; the gdb maintainers are aware of this and are planning to modify gdb such that skip_prologue can always return 0 - ability to find out whether and where a frame saved a register - finish & test unwinding across signal frame (pay attention that signal frame gets updated)
