/* callframe_do_call()
This function decodes the arguments of method call, builds a
callframe, and invokes the method using GSFFCallInvokeWithTargetAndImp
then it encodes the return value and any pass-by-reference arguments.
An entry, ctxt->type should be a string that describes the return value
and arguments. It's argument types and argument type qualifiers
should match exactly those that were used when the arguments were
encoded. callframe_do_call() uses this information to determine
which variable types it should decode.
The type info is used to get the types and type qualifiers, but not
to get the register and stack locations---we get that information
from the selector type of the SEL that is decoded as the second
argument. In this way, the type info may come from a machine
of a different architecture. Having the original type info is
good, just in case the machine running callframe_do_call() has some
slightly different qualifiers. Using different qualifiers for
encoding and decoding could lead to massive confusion.
DECODER should be a pointer to a function that obtains the method's
argument values. For example:
void my_decoder (DOContext *ctxt)
CTXT contains the context information for the item to decode.
callframe_do_call() calls this function once for each of the methods
arguments. The DECODER function should place the ARGNUM'th
argument's value at the memory location ctxt->datum.
callframe_do_call() calls this function once with ctxt->datum 0,
and ctxt->type 0 to denote completion of decoding.
If DECODER malloc's new memory in the course of doing its
business, then DECODER is responsible for making sure that the
memory will get free eventually. For example, if DECODER uses
-decodeValueOfCType:at:withName: to decode a char* string, you
should remember that -decodeValueOfCType:at:withName: malloc's
new memory to hold the string, and DECODER should autorelease the
malloc'ed pointer, using the NSData class.
ENCODER should be a pointer to a function that records the method's
return value and pass-by-reference values. For example:
void my_encoder (DOContext *ctxt)
CTXT contains the context information for the item to encode.
callframe_do_call() calls this function after the method has been
run---once for the return value, and once for each of the
pass-by-reference parameters. The ENCODER function should place
the value at memory location ctxt->datum wherever the user wants to
record the ARGNUM'th return value.

arguments. The DECODER function should place the ARGNUM'th
argument's value at the memory location ctxt->datum.
cifframe_do_call() calls this function once with ctxt->datum 0,
and ctxt->type 0 to denote completion of decoding.
If DECODER malloc's new memory in the course of doing its
business, then DECODER is responsible for making sure that the
memory will get free eventually. For example, if DECODER uses
-decodeValueOfCType:at:withName: to decode a char* string, you
should remember that -decodeValueOfCType:at:withName: malloc's
new memory to hold the string, and DECODER should autorelease the
malloc'ed pointer, using the NSData class.
ENCODER should be a pointer to a function that records the method's
return value and pass-by-reference values. For example:
void my_encoder (DOContext *ctxt)
CTXT contains the context information for the item to encode.
cifframe_do_call() calls this function after the method has been
run---once for the return value, and once for each of the
pass-by-reference parameters. The ENCODER function should place
the value at memory location ctxt->datum wherever the user wants to
record the ARGNUM'th return value.
