#include <libdwarf.h>
Argument fde should reference a valid DWARF FDE descriptor.
Argument pc should hold the program counter address to be used to locate the desired table row.
Argument reg_table should point to a Dwarf_Regtable3 descriptor which will hold the returned table row of register rules. The Dwarf_Regtable3 descriptor is defined in the header file <libdwarf.h>:
typedef struct { Dwarf_Small dw_offset_relevant; Dwarf_Small dw_value_type; Dwarf_Half dw_regnum; Dwarf_Unsigned dw_offset_or_block_len; Dwarf_Ptr dw_block_ptr; } Dwarf_Regtable_Entry3;typedef struct { Dwarf_Regtable_Entry3 rt3_cfa_rule; Dwarf_Half rt3_reg_table_size; Dwarf_Regtable_Entry3 *rt3_rules; } Dwarf_Regtable3;
The rt3_reg_table_size field specifies the maximum number of register rule columns to be returned, and should be set by the application before calling the function. The rt3_rules field should point to a memory arena allocated by the application with space for at least rt3_reg_table_size descriptors of type Dwarf_Regtable_Entry3.
On a successful execution of this function, the rt3_cfa_rule field will be set to the CFA register rule associated with the table row, and the rt3_rules array will hold the returned register rules contained in the table row.
For each register rule descriptor returned, the dw_offset_relevant field will be set to 1 if the register rule has a offset value, the dw_value_type field will be set to the type code of the register rule and the dw_regnum field will be set to the register number associated with the register rule. If the register rule is of type DW_EXPR_OFFSET or DW_EXPR_VAL_OFFSET, the dw_offset_or_block_len field will be set to the offset value associated with the register rule. If the type is DW_EXPR_EXPRESSION or DW_EXPR_VAL_EXPRESSION, the dw_offset_or_block_len field will be set to the length in bytes of the DWARF expression block associated with the register rule. The dw_block_ptr field will be set to a pointer to the content of the DWARF expression block associated with the register rule.
Argument row_pc should point to a location which will be set to the lowest program counter address associated with the table row.
If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
[DW_DLE_ARGUMENT] | One of the arguments fde, reg_table or row_pc was NULL. |
[DW_DLE_PC_NOT_IN_FDE_RANGE] | The program counter value provided in argument pc did not fall in the range covered by argument fde. |

“ | Ken Thompson has an automobile which he helped design. Unlike most automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gauge, nor any of the other numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver. Rather, if the driver makes a mistake, a giant “?” lights up in the center of the dashboard. “The experienced driver,” says Thompson, “will usually know what's wrong.” | ” |
