You can create constants dynamically using the "use constant", but the whole thing (initialization of constant-value hash) needs to be in a BEGIN {} block, before the rest of the script is executed.

This is good for initializing constants from config file or something like that before the script starts, but after the script has started execution there is no way to create real constants anymore.

DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf) SYNOPSIS
#include <libdwarf.h> int dwarf_get_ACCESS_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_AT_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_ATE_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_CC_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_CFA_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_CHILDREN_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_DS_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_DSC_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_EH_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_END_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_FORM_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_ID_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_INL_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_LANG_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_LNE_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_LNS_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_MACINFO_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_OP_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_ORD_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_TAG_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_VIRTUALITY_name(unsigned val, char **str); int dwarf_get_VIS_name(unsigned val, char **str); DESCRIPTION
These functions return the symbolic name of a numeric DWARF constant. Argument val specifies the numeric value whose symbolic name is desired. Argument str should point to a location which will hold the returned NUL-terminated string containing the symbolic name of the specified value. The list of functions and the DWARF constants that they accept are: dwarf_get_ACCESS_name() DW_ACCESS_* constants. dwarf_get_AT_name() DW_AT_* constants. dwarf_get_ATE_name() DW_ATE_* constants. dwarf_get_CC_name() DW_CC_* constants. dwarf_get_CFA_name() DW_CFA_* constants. dwarf_get_CHILDREN_name() DW_CHILDREN_* constants. dwarf_get_DS_name() DW_DS_* constants. dwarf_get_DSC_name() DW_DSC_* constants. dwarf_get_EH_name() DW_EH_PE_* constants. dwarf_get_END_name() DW_END_* constants. dwarf_get_FORM_name() DW_FORM_* constants. dwarf_get_ID_name() DW_ID_* constants. dwarf_get_INL_name() DW_INL_* constants. dwarf_get_LANG_name() DW_LANG_* constants. dwarf_get_LNE_name() DW_LNE_* constants. dwarf_get_LNS_name() DW_LNS_* constants. dwarf_get_MACINFO_name() DW_MACINFO_* constants. dwarf_get_OP_name() DW_OP_* constants. dwarf_get_ORD_name() DW_ORD_* constants. dwarf_get_TAG_name() DW_TAG_* constants. dwarf_get_VIRTUALITY_name() DW_VIRTUALITY_* constants. dwarf_get_VIS_name() DW_VIS_* constants. RETURN VALUES
These functions return DW_DLV_OK on success. If the DWARF constant denoted by argument val is not recognized, these function return DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY. SEE ALSO
