p Argument .Ar dbg should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using .Xr dwarf_producer_init 3 or .Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .

p Argument .Ar fde should reference a frame descriptor allocated using .Xr dwarf_new_fde 3 .

p Argument .Ar die is ignored by this implementation of the .Lb libdwarf .

p Argument .Ar cie specifies the index of call frame common information entry for the frame descriptor. Valid indices are those returned by the function .Xr dwarf_add_frame_cie 3 .

p Argument .Ar symbol_index specifies the ELF symbol index of the first symbol to be used for relocation.

p The meaning of the arguments .Ar virt_addr , .Ar code_len and .Ar offset_from_end_sym depend on the value of argument .Ar end_symbol_index : l -bullet t If the argument .Ar end_symbol_index is zero, the argument .Ar virt_addr specifies the relocatable address of the start of the function associated with the frame descriptor, the argument .Ar code_len specifies the size in bytes of the machine instructions for this function, the argument .Ar symbol_index specifies the ELF symbol to be used for relocating the address in argument .Ar virt_addr , and the argument .Ar offset_from_end_symbol is ignored. t If the argument .Ar end_symbol_index is non-zero, it specifies the ELF symbol index of the second symbol to be used for relocation. In this case, the argument .Ar virt_addr specifies an offset from the relocatable symbol specified by argument .Ar symbol_index , the argument .Ar offset_from_end_symbol should specify an offset from the symbol named by the argument .Ar end_symbol_index , and the argument .Ar code_len will be ignored. The .Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS flag should also have been set on the DWARF producer instance.

p Application code can retrieve the relocation entries for the symbol pair by calling function .Xr dwarf_get_relocation_info 3 . The relocation entry for the first symbol will have type .Dv dwarf_drt_first_of_length_pair and the relocation entry for the second symbol will have type .Dv dwarf_drt_second_of_length_pair . .El

p If argument .Ar err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.

p Function .Fn dwarf_add_frame_fde is similar to function .Fn dwarf_add_frame_fde_b except that it supports only one relocation symbol. .Sh RETURN VALUES On success, these functions return the index value for the added frame descriptor. In case of an error, these functions return .Dv DW_DLV_NOCOUNT and set the argument .Ar err . .Sh ERRORS These functions can fail with: l -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT" t Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT One of the arguments .Ar dbg or .Ar fde was NULL. t Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT The frame descriptor referenced by argument .Ar fde did not belong to the producer instance referenced by argument .Ar dbg . t Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT The common information entry index specified by argument .Ar cie was invalid. t Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT Argument .Ar end_symbol_index was non-zero, but the flag .Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS was not set on the producer instance. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr dwarf 3 , .Xr dwarf_add_fde_inst 3 , .Xr dwarf_add_frame_cie 3 , .Xr dwarf_fde_cfa_offset 3 , .Xr dwarf_get_relocation_info 3 , .Xr dwarf_new_fde 3 , .Xr dwarf_producer_init 3 , .Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3
