DWARF_ADD_LINE_ENTRY(3)    Library Functions Manual    DWARF_ADD_LINE_ENTRY(3)

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 breakpoint
     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
     instruction 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.

EXAMPLES
     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));

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.
