NAME
dwarf_add_line_entry -- add a line number information entry to a producer instance
LIBRARY
DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)
SYNOPSIS
#include <libdwarf.h> Dwarf_Unsigned dwarf_add_line_entry(Dwarf_P_Debug dbg, Dwarf_Unsigned filendx, Dwarf_Addr off, Dwarf_Unsigned lineno, Dwarf_Signed column, Dwarf_Bool is_stmt, Dwarf_Bool basic_block, Dwarf_Error *err);
DESCRIPTION
Function dwarf_add_line_entry() adds a line number information entry to a DWARF producer instance. Argument dbg should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using dwarf_producer_init(3) or dwarf_producer_init_b(3). Argument filendx specifies the index of the source file that contains the source line in question. Valid source file indices are those returned by the function dwarf_add_file_decl(3). Argument off specifies a relocatable program address. The ELF symbol to be used for relocation is set by a prior call to the function dwarf_lne_set_address(3). Argument lineno specifies the line number of the source line. Argument column specifies the column number within the source line. If the argument is_stmt is set to true, it indicates that the instruction at the address specified by argument off is a recommended break- point location, i.e., the first instruction in the instruction sequence generated by the source line. If the argument basic_block is set to true, it indicates that the instruction at the address specified by argument off is the first instruc- tion of a basic block. If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
RETURN VALUES
On success, function dwarf_add_line_entry() returns DW_DLV_OK. In case of an error, function dwarf_add_line_entry() returns DW_DLV_NOCOUNT and sets the argument err.
ERRORS
Function dwarf_add_line_entry() can fail with: [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT] Argument dbg was NULL. [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT] The function dwarf_lne_set_address(3) was not called before calling this function. [DW_DLE_MEMORY] An out of memory condition was encountered during the execution of the function.
EXAMPLE
To add line number information to the producer instance, use: Dwarf_P_Debug dbg; Dwarf_Error de; Dwarf_Unsigned dir, filendx; /* ... assume dbg refers to a DWARF producer instance ... */ dir = dwarf_add_directory_decl(dbg, "/home/foo", &de); if (dir == DW_DLV_NOCOUNT) errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_directory_decl failed: %s", dwarf_errmsg(-1)); filendx = dwarf_add_file_decl(dbg, "bar.c", dir, 0, 1234, &de); if (filendx == DW_DLV_NOCOUNT) errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_file_decl failed: %s", dwarf_errmsg(-1)); if (dwarf_lne_set_address(dbg, 0x4012b0, 12, &de) != DW_DLV_OK) errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_lne_set_address failed: %s", dwarf_errmsg(-1)); if (dwarf_add_line_entry(dbg, filendx, 10, 258, 0, 1, 1, &de) != DW_DLV_OK) errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_add_line_entry failed: %s", dwarf_errmsg(-1));
