[platform-debug-dev] Presentation of "Execution Location" in editors

[boxall@xxxxxxxxxx]

I like the proposal to move away from depending on stackframe selection for
positioning.

I am hoping this might allow us to handle a situation where the stopping
thread does not have any stackframes.   Currently I create a "dummy"
stackframe that returns the label "No stack information available" just so
that the selection will work.

Since getting the stopping location no longer relies on selecting the
stackframe could this interface allow for the thread to be passed?

i.e. if there are no stackframes then pass the thread in to get the
location.   This implies that the new API should allow either IStackframe
or IThread or even  IDebugElement and let the model presentation decide if
there is a location associated with the debug element.
