Functions
DW_API int	dwarf_debug_addr_table (Dwarf_Debug dw_dbg, Dwarf_Unsigned dw_section_offset, Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table *dw_table_header, Dwarf_Unsigned *dw_length, Dwarf_Half *dw_version, Dwarf_Small *dw_address_size, Dwarf_Unsigned *dw_at_addr_base, Dwarf_Unsigned *dw_entry_count, Dwarf_Unsigned *dw_next_table_offset, Dwarf_Error *dw_error)
	Return a .debug_addr table.
DW_API int	dwarf_debug_addr_by_index (Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table dw_dat, Dwarf_Unsigned dw_entry_index, Dwarf_Unsigned *dw_address, Dwarf_Error *dw_error)
	Return .debug_addr address given table index.
DW_API void	dwarf_dealloc_debug_addr_table (Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table dw_dat)
	dealloc (free) a Dwarf_Attr_Table record.

Detailed Description

Reading just the .debug_addr section.

These functions solely useful for reading that section. It seems unlikely you would have a reason to call these. The functions getting attribute values use the section when appropriate without using these functions.

Function Documentation

dwarf_dealloc_debug_addr_table()

DW_API void dwarf_dealloc_debug_addr_table

(

Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table

dw_dat

)

dealloc (free) a Dwarf_Attr_Table record.

Parameters

dw_dat

Pass in a valid Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table pointer. Does nothing if the dw_dat field is NULL.

dwarf_debug_addr_by_index()

DW_API int dwarf_debug_addr_by_index	(	Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table	dw_dat,
		Dwarf_Unsigned	dw_entry_index,
		Dwarf_Unsigned *	dw_address,
		Dwarf_Error *	dw_error
	)

Return .debug_addr address given table index.

Parameters

dw_dat	Pass in a Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table pointer.
dw_entry_index	Pass in a Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table index to an address. If out of the valid range 0 through dw_entry_count-1 the function returns DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY.
dw_address	Returns an address in the program through the pointer.
dw_error	The usual error detail return pointer.

Returns

Returns DW_DLV_OK etc. If the dw_section_offset passed in is out of range it returns DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY. If it returns DW_DLV_ERROR only dw_error is set, dw_address is not set.

dwarf_debug_addr_table()

DW_API int dwarf_debug_addr_table	(	Dwarf_Debug	dw_dbg,
		Dwarf_Unsigned	dw_section_offset,
		Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table *	dw_table_header,
		Dwarf_Unsigned *	dw_length,
		Dwarf_Half *	dw_version,
		Dwarf_Small *	dw_address_size,
		Dwarf_Unsigned *	dw_at_addr_base,
		Dwarf_Unsigned *	dw_entry_count,
		Dwarf_Unsigned *	dw_next_table_offset,
		Dwarf_Error *	dw_error
	)

Return a .debug_addr table.

Allocates and returns a pointer to a Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table as well as the contents of the record.

Other than dw_debug and dw_error and dw_table_header a NULL passed in as a pointer argument means the return value will not be set through the pointer, so a caller can pass NULL for return values of no immediate interest.

It is only intended to enable printing of the simple DWARF5 .debug_addr section (by dwarfdump).

When emitting DWARF4, gcc may emit a GNU-specified .debug_addr format. If some CU has been opened then this call will work, but the single table will have all the entries for all CUs.

Parameters

dw_dbg	The Dwarf_Debug of interest.
dw_section_offset	Pass in the section offset of a table header. Start with zero. If the passed-in offset is past the last byte of the table the function returns DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY.
dw_table_header	On success Returns a pointer to a Dwarf_Debug_Addr_Table for use with dwarf_get_attr_by_index().
dw_length	On success Returns the length in bytes of this contribution to .debug_addr from the table header, including the table length field and the array of addresses.
dw_version	On success returns the version number, which should be 5.
dw_address_size	On success returns the address size of the address entries in this table.
dw_at_addr_base	On success returns the value that will appear in some DW_AT_addr_base attribute.
dw_entry_count	On success returns the number of table entries in this table instance.
dw_next_table_offset	On success returns the offset of the next table in the section. Use the offset returned in the next call to this function.
dw_error	The usual error detail return pointer.

Returns

Returns DW_DLV_OK etc. If the dw_section_offset passed in is out of range it returns DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY. If it returns DW_DLV_ERROR only dw_error is set, none of the other return values are set through the pointers.
