57.Sh DESCRIPTION
58These functions create a
59.Dv DW_AT_const_value
60attribute descriptor and attach it to the debugging information entry
61referenced by argument
62.Ar die .
63.Pp
64Argument
65.Ar die
66should reference a debugging information entry allocated using
67.Xr dwarf_new_die 3 .
68.Pp
69Function
70.Fn dwarf_add_AT_const_value_signedint
71creates a
72.Dv DW_AT_const_value
73attribute descriptor containing the signed value specified by argument
74.Ar value .
75The created attribute descriptor will have DWARF form
76.Dv DW_FORM_sdata .
77.Pp
78Function
79.Fn dwarf_add_AT_const_value_unsignedint
80creates a
81.Dv DW_AT_const_value
82attribute descriptor containing the unsigned value specified by
83argument
84.Ar value .
85The created attribute descriptor will have DWARF form
86.Dv DW_FORM_udata .
87.Pp
88Function
89.Fn dwarf_add_AT_const_value_string
90creates a
91.Dv DW_AT_const_value
92attribute descriptor containing the string pointed to by the
93NUL-terminated argument
94.Ar str .
95The created attribute descriptor will have DWARF form
96.Dv DW_FORM_strp .
97.Pp
98If argument
99.Ar err
100is not NULL, it will be used by these functions to store error
101information in case of an error.
102.Sh RETURN VALUES
103On success, these functions return the created attribute descriptor.
104In case of an error, these functions return
105.Dv DW_DLV_BADADDR
106and set the argument
107.Ar err .
108.Sh ERRORS
109These functions can fail with:
110.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
111.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
112Either of the arguments
113.Ar die
114or
115.Ar str
116was NULL.
117.It Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY
118An out of memory condition was encountered during execution.
