  // after the callee returns.  Specifically, the value is correct for the
  // cdecl calling convention, but not other conventions.  The cdecl
  // convention requires a caller to pop its callee's arguments from the
  // stack after the callee returns.  This is usually accomplished by adding
  // the known size of the arguments to %esp.  Other calling conventions,
  // including stdcall, thiscall, and fastcall, require the callee to pop any
  // parameters stored on the stack before returning.  This is usually
  // accomplished by using the RET n instruction, which pops n bytes off
  // the stack after popping the return address.
  //
  // Because each frame's %esp will point to a location on the stack after
  // callee arguments have been PUSHed, when locating things in a stack frame
  // relative to %esp, the size of the arguments to the callee need to be
  // taken into account.  This seems a little bit unclean, but it's better
  // than the alternative, which would need to take these same things into
  // account, but only for cdecl functions.  With this implementation, we get
  // to be agnostic about each function's calling convention.  Furthermore,
  // this is how Windows debugging tools work, so it means that the %esp
  // values produced by this stackwalker directly correspond to the %esp
  // values you'll see there.
  //
  // If the last frame has no callee (because it's the context frame), just
  // set the callee parameter size to 0: the stack pointer can't point to
  // callee arguments because there's no callee.  This is correct as long
  // as the context wasn't captured while arguments were being pushed for
  // a function call.  Note that there may be functions whose parameter sizes

    // Functions that fall into this category use the %ebp register for
