45*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Sh DESCRIPTION
46*2de3b87aSKai WangFunction
47*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Fn dwarf_add_AT_reference
48*2de3b87aSKai Wangcreates an attribute descriptor that references another debugging
49*2de3b87aSKai Wanginformation entry in the same compilation unit.
50*2de3b87aSKai WangThe attribute will be of DWARF form
51*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Dv DW_FORM_ref4
52*2de3b87aSKai Wangor
53*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Dv DW_FORM_ref8
54*2de3b87aSKai Wangdepending on the target address size, and will contain the
55*2de3b87aSKai Wangsection-relative offset of the referenced debugging information entry
56*2de3b87aSKai Wangas its value.
57*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Pp
58*2de3b87aSKai WangArgument
59*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Ar dbg
60*2de3b87aSKai Wangshould reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
61*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
62*2de3b87aSKai Wangor
63*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
64*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Pp
65*2de3b87aSKai WangArgument
66*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Ar die
67*2de3b87aSKai Wangshould reference a debugging information entry allocated using
68*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Xr dwarf_new_die 3 .
69*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Pp
70*2de3b87aSKai WangArgument
71*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Ar attr
72*2de3b87aSKai Wangshould specify the attribute code of the created attribute descriptor.

74*2de3b87aSKai WangArgument
75*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Ar ref_die
76*2de3b87aSKai Wangshould hold the debugging information entry descriptor that
77*2de3b87aSKai Wangthe attribute should refer to.
78*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Pp
79*2de3b87aSKai WangIf argument
80*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Ar err
81*2de3b87aSKai Wangis not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
82*2de3b87aSKai Wangof an error.

84*2de3b87aSKai WangOn success, function
85*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Fn dwarf_add_AT_reference
86*2de3b87aSKai Wangreturns the created attribute descriptor.
87*2de3b87aSKai WangIn case of an error, function
88*2de3b87aSKai Wang.Fn dwarf_add_AT_reference
89*2de3b87aSKai Wangreturns
