46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47Function
48.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
49creates a
50.Sq reference
51class attribute descriptor containing a relocatable address value.
52The created attribute will use DWARF form
53.Dv DW_FORM_ref_addr .
54.Pp
55Argument
56.Ar dbg
57should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
58.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
59or
60.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
61.Pp
62Argument
63.Ar die
64should reference a debugging information entry allocated using
65.Xr dwarf_new_die 3 .
66.Pp
67Argument
68.Ar attr
69specifies the attribute code of the created attribute.
70.Pp
71Argument
72.Ar pc_value
73contains a relocatable address which will become the value of the
74created attribute.
75.Pp
76Argument
77.Ar sym_index
78should specify the ELF symbol index of the symbol to be used when
79relocating the address value.
80.Pp
81If argument
82.Ar err
83is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
84of an error.
85.Sh RETURN VALUES
86On success, function
87.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
88returns the created attribute descriptor.
89In case of an error, function
90.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
91returns
92.Dv DW_DLV_BADADDR
93and sets the argument
94.Ar err .
95.Sh ERRORS
96Function
97.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
98can fail with:
99.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
100.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
101Either of the arguments
102.Ar dbg
103or
104.Ar die
105was NULL.
106.It Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY
107An out of memory condition was encountered during execution.
