DWARF_ADD_AT_DATAREF(3)    Library Functions Manual    DWARF_ADD_AT_DATAREF(3)

NAME
     dwarf_add_AT_dataref - create an attribute descriptor for a relocatable
     address

LIBRARY
     DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libdwarf.h>

     Dwarf_P_Attribute
     dwarf_add_AT_dataref(Dwarf_P_Debug dbg, Dwarf_P_Die die, Dwarf_Half attr,
         Dwarf_Unsigned pc_value, Dwarf_Unsigned sym_index, Dwarf_Error *err);

DESCRIPTION
     Function dwarf_add_AT_dataref() creates an attribute descriptor for a
     relocatable address and attaches it to the debugging information entry
     referenced by argument die.

     If flag DW_DLC_SIZE_64 is set, the address value will be 8 bytes in size
     and of the DWARF form DW_FORM_data8.  Otherwise, the address value will
     be 4 bytes in size and of the DWARF form DW_FORM_data4.

     Argument dbg should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
     dwarf_producer_init(3) or dwarf_producer_init_b(3).

     Argument die should reference a debugging information entry allocated
     using dwarf_new_die(3).

     Argument attr specifies the attribute code of the created attribute
     descriptor.

     Argument pc_value specifies the value of the relocatable address.

     Argument sym_index specifies the ELF symbol index of the symbol to be
     used for relocation.

     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_AT_dataref() returns the created attribute
     descriptor.  In case of an error, function dwarf_add_AT_dataref() returns
     DW_DLV_BADADDR and sets the argument err.

ERRORS
     Function dwarf_add_AT_dataref() can fail with:

     [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT]       Either of the arguments dbg or die was NULL.

     [DW_DLE_MEMORY]         An out of memory condition was encountered during
                             the execution of the function.
