Sami,

Just FYI, here's an ASCII version of the frame/function relationship 
diagram:

 .---FRAME--1:N--FUNCTION--1:N--BLOCK--1:N--VARIABLE
 |    | \           |  \
 `----'  \          |  1:N
         1:N        |    \
           \        |     `PARAMETER
            \       |
           FILE/LINE/COL

that is:

- an ABI stack frame has inner/outer FRAME

- an ABI stack frame, has one-or-more source function/method associated 
with it - more than one due too inlining

- A "function" has one or more "block scopes" associated with it

- A block-scope than has one or more variables associated with it

and: A frame as one-or-more FILE/LINE/COL's due to inlining ;; and the 
FUNCTION will also point into that same info - so that one can tell 
which function a file

Andrew
