DWARF_FIND_MACRO_VALUE_START(3) BSD Library Functions Manual DWARF_FIND_MACRO_VALUE_START(3)NAME
dwarf_find_macro_value_start -- return the address of the first byte of a macro value
LIBRARY
DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)
SYNOPSIS
#include <libdwarf.h>
char *
dwarf_find_macro_value_start(char *macro_string);
DESCRIPTION
Given a DWARF macro string, function dwarf_find_macro_value_start() returns a pointer to the first byte of the macro value part of the macro
string.
Argument macro_string should be a NUL-terminated string conforming to the macro format defined in the DWARF standard; see dwarf(4).
RETURN VALUES
On success, function dwarf_find_macro_value_start() returns a pointer to the first byte of the macro value. If the macro value part was not
found, function dwarf_find_macro_value_start() returns a pointer to the NUL-byte terminating argument macro_string.
Function dwarf_find_macro_value_start() returns NULL if argument macro_string was NULL.

DWARF_GET_MACRO_DETAILS(3) BSD Library Functions Manual DWARF_GET_MACRO_DETAILS(3)NAME
dwarf_get_macro_details -- retrieve macro information
LIBRARY
DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)
SYNOPSIS
#include <libdwarf.h>
int
dwarf_get_macro_details(Dwarf_Debug dbg, Dwarf_Off offset, Dwarf_Unsigned max_count, Dwarf_Signed *entry_cnt, Dwarf_Macro_Details **details,
Dwarf_Error *err);
DESCRIPTION
Function dwarf_get_macro_details() retrieves information about macros associated with a DWARF debug context. Information about macro entries
are returned as an array of descriptors of type Dwarf_Macro_Details, with each Dwarf_Macro_Details descriptor describing one macro informa-
tion entry.
Argument dbg should reference a DWARF debug context allocated using dwarf_init(3). Argument offset is an offset, relative to the
``.debug_macinfo'' section, to the start of the desired macro information. Argument max_count specifies the maximum number of macro informa-
tion entries to be returned, or 0 if all entries are to be returned. Argument entry_cnt should point to a location that will be set to the
number of entries actually returned. Argument details should point to a location that will be set to a pointer to an array of
Dwarf_Macro_Details descriptors. If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
Dwarf_Macro_Details descriptors are defined in the header file <libdwarf.h>, and consist of the following fields:
dmd_offset The section-relative offset within the ``.debug_macinfo'' section of the macro information entry being described.
dmd_type The type code of this macro information entry; one of the DW_MACINFO_* constants defined by the DWARF specification.
dmd_lineno The line number associated with the macro information entry, or 0 if there is no applicable line number.
dmd_fileindex The source file index for the macro information entry. This field is only meaningful when dmd_type field is set to
DW_MACINFO_start_file.
dmd_macro The contents of this field is a pointer to a NUL-terminated string whose meaning depends on the value of the dmd_type field:
DW_MACINFO_define The returned string contains the macro name and value.
DW_MACINFO_undef The string holds the macro name.
DW_MACINFO_vendor_ext The dmd_macro field points to a vendor defined string.
The field is NULL for other values of dmd_type.
Memory Management
The memory area used for the array of Dwarf_Macro_Details descriptors returned in argument details is owned by the DWARF Access Library
(libdwarf, -ldwarf). The application should not attempt to directly free this pointer. Portable code should instead use dwarf_dealloc()
with the allocation type DW_DLA_STRING to indicate that the memory may be freed.
RETURN VALUES
Function dwarf_get_macro_details() returns DW_DLV_OK when it succeeds. It returns DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY if there is no more macro information at
the specified offset offset. In case of an error, it returns DW_DLV_ERROR and sets the argument err.
ERRORS
Function dwarf_get_macro_details() can fail with:
[DW_DLE_ARGUMENT] One of the arguments dbg, entry_cnt or details was NULL.
[DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY] There is no more macro information at the specified offset offset.
EXAMPLE
To loop through all the macro information entries associated with a DWARF debug context:
Dwarf_Debug dbg;
Dwarf_Unsigned offset;
Dwarf_Signed cnt;
Dwarf_Macro_Details *md;
Dwarf_Error de;
offset = 0;
while (dwarf_get_macro_details(dbg, offset, 0,
&cnt, &md, &de) == DW_DLV_OK) {
for (i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
/* Access fields of md[i] ... */
}
offset = md[cnt - 1].dmd_offset + 1;
}
