.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions are used to step through compilation or type units
|
|
associated with a DWARF debug context, optionally returning information
|
|
about the unit.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header_c
|
|
is the API recommended for new application code.
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header_b
|
|
can only operate on compilation units associated with the
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_info
|
|
section.
|
|
They are less general than function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header_c ,
|
|
and are deprecated for use by new application code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar dbg
|
|
should reference a DWARF debug context allocated using
|
|
.Xr dwarf_init 3 .
|
|
If argument
|
|
.Ar is_info
|
|
is set to 1,
|
|
the function returns information for compilation units found in the
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_info
|
|
section.
|
|
If argument
|
|
.Ar is_info
|
|
is set to 0,
|
|
the function returns information for type units found in the
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_types
|
|
sections.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cu_length
|
|
should point to a location that will be set to the
|
|
length of the compilation or type unit.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cu_version
|
|
should point to a location that will be set to the
|
|
version number for the compilation or type unit.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cu_abbrev_offset
|
|
should point to a location that will be set to the
|
|
starting offset (in the
|
|
.Dq .debug_abbrev
|
|
section) of the set of debugging information entry abbreviations
|
|
associated with this compilation or type unit.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cu_pointer_size
|
|
should point to a location that will be set to the
|
|
size in bytes of an address for the machine architecture of the
|
|
underlying object being debugged.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cu_offset_size
|
|
should point to a location that will be set to the
|
|
size in bytes for a DWARF offset in the compilation or type unit.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cu_extension_size
|
|
is only needed for processing MIPS/IRIX objects that use
|
|
a non-standard DWARF format.
|
|
It should point to a location that will be set to 4 for normal
|
|
objects and to 0 for non-standard ones.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar type_signature
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar type_offset
|
|
is only needed for processing type units.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar type_signature
|
|
should point to a location that will be set to the 64-bit unique signature
|
|
of the type described in the type unit.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar type_offset
|
|
should point to a location that will be set to the offset of the debugging
|
|
information entry that describes the type.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar cu_next_offset
|
|
should point to a location that will be set to the
|
|
offset of the next compilation unit header in the
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_info
|
|
section,
|
|
or the offset of the next type unit header in the
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_types
|
|
section.
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Ar err
|
|
should point to a location that will hold an error descriptor in case
|
|
of an error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header_b
|
|
is identical to function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header_c
|
|
except that it does not provide arguments
|
|
.Ar is_info ,
|
|
.Ar type_signature
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar type_offset .
|

Function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header
|
|
is identical to function
|
|

|
|
except that it does not provide arguments
|
|
.Ar cu_offset_size
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar cu_extension_size .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A value of NULL may be used for any of the arguments
|
|
.Ar cu_length ,
|
|
.Ar cu_version ,
|
|
.Ar cu_abbrev_offset ,
|
|
.Ar cu_pointer_size ,

.Ar cu_extension_size ,
|

|

|
|
.Ss Iterating Through Compilation Units in a Debug Context
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first call to function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header_c
|
|
for a given debug context with argument
|
|
.Ar is_info
|
|
set to 1 will return information about the first
|
|
compilation unit in the
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_info
|
|
section.
|
|
Subsequent calls to the function will iterate through the remaining
|
|
compilation units in the section.
|
|
On stepping past the last compilation unit in the section,
|
|
function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header_c
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
|
|
and resets its internal state.
|
|
The next call to the function will restart from the first compilation
|
|
unit in the section.
|
|
.Ss Iterating Through Type Units in a Debug Context
|
|
When a DWARF debug context is allocated using
|
|
.Xr dwarf_init 3 ,
|
|
an internal pointer associated with the context will point to the first
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_types
|
|
section found in the debug object.
|
|
The first call to function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header_c
|
|
for the debug context with argument
|
|
.Ar is_info
|
|
set to 0 will return information about the first
|
|
type unit in that
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_types
|
|
section.
|
|
Subsequent calls to the function will iterate through the remaining
|
|
type units in the section.
|
|
On stepping past the last type unit in the debug context,
|
|
function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header_c
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
|
|
and resets its internal state.
|
|
The next call to the function will restart from the first type
|
|
unit in the
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_types
|
|
section.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the debug object contains multiple
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_types
|
|
sections, the function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_types_section
|
|
can be called to move the internal pointer to the next
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_types
|
|
section.
|
|
As a result, subsequent calls of the function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_cu_header_c
|
|
will operate on the new
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_types
|
|
section.
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn dwarf_next_types_section
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
|
|
when there are no more
|
|
.Dq \&.debug_types
|
|
sections left in the debug object.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
On success, these functions return
|
|
.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
|
|
In case of an error, they return
|
|
.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
|
|
and set argument
|
|
.Ar err .
|
|
When there are no more compilation units left to traverse, they return
|
|
.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
These functions can fail with the following error:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
|
|
.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Va dbg
|
|
was NULL.
