Tools using the json-v1 format might want to trace stack frames across different `CMakeLists.txt` files, in order to, for example, provide stacktraces that span from the top-level `CMakeLists.txt` in a project. One would think that `frame` lets you do that, but it doesn't, because it tells you the depth of the stack within the current `CMakeLists.txt`, so it gets reset across calls to `add_subdirectory`. The solution involves adding a field with a "global frame". This value gets incremented on calls to `add_subdirectory`, which makes it easier for tools to reconstruct "global stacktraces". I considered changing the current "frame" value, but I didn't because it would be a breaking change. I cannot think of any use-case where "frame" is more useful to "global-frame", but maybe I'm missing something.pull/348/head
