778 On a RISC architecture, a void parameterless generic dummy

782 not push anything on the stack and, hence, that too can
783 leave FP and SP unchanged. As a consequence, a sequence of
784 void parameterless generic dummy frame calls to frameless
785 functions will create a sequence of effectively identical
786 frames (SP, FP and TOS and PC the same). This, not
