Seems they all print out information about what's the current call frame is, and 'i frame' seems to give a bit more information. But I don't really see the necessity of 'where' command. Is there anything that 'where' command can do while 'bt' or 'i frame' cannot do?
Thanks!
where
and bt
are exact synonyms and produce exact same output. From the manual:
The names where and info stack (abbreviated info s) are additional
aliases for backtrace.
info frame
is totally different: it describes current frame, not the call stack.

It's there to make life easier for people who first used another debugger (e.g. dbx
).
