             Bug #: 14728
           Summary: make othere frames do readable
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: backtrace
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: icegood1980@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


make readable locals from other frames and do switch between frames i.e. 
which locals from which frame make readable at this moment to avoid mixing.
As msvc already can do.
Also make ability to return at once more than one frame (i.e. without ret.
value)

I don't understand this bug.
Could you explain more?
And if you have multiple requests, please file separate bugs
for each one.  Thanks.

frame - frame of concrete function in stack. For now local variables only for
current last one are may be printed via "print" call. Want also "print" any
local variable from any frame down the stack.

What syntax do they use for this?

It's certainly possible.
You could write it in Python today if you were ok with needing
quotes, something like  $_frame_var(23, 'a') -> yield "a" from frame 23.
