            Bug ID: 28538
           Summary: Consider adding possibility to call gdb unwinder for
                    the heavy lifting
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: python
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: plasmahh at gmx dot net
  Target Milestone: ---

When writing an python unwinder  the current approach is an "all or nothing"
kind. Often one does want to do a little more on top of what gdb would do, =
but
has to do it all on your own. It would be nice to be able to call the gdb
unwinder to "see what it says" and then to work from that on. Best possibly=
 by
being able to call super().__call__(pending_frame) from within your own
__call__ (similar to frame decorators/filters)
