56.Sh DESCRIPTION
57Function
58.Fn dwarf_add_arange_b
59adds an address range entry to a producer instance.
60.Pp
61Argument
62.Ar dbg
63should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
64.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
65or
66.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
67.Pp
68Argument
69.Ar start
70specifies the relocatable start address of the address range.
71.Pp
72Argument
73.Ar length
74specifies the length of the address range.
75.Pp
76Argument
77.Ar symbol_index
78specifies the ELF symbol index of the first symbol to be used for
79relocation.
80.Pp
81Argument
82.Ar end_symbol_index
83specifies the ELF symbol index of the second symbol to be used for
84relocation.
85.Bl -bullet
86.It
87If argument
88.Ar end_symbol_index
89is not 0, the
90.Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS
91flag should have been set on the DWARF producer instance.
92The address value specified by argument
93.Ar start
94will be treated as an offset value from the first symbol,
95and the argument
96.Ar offset_from_end_symbol
97should hold an offset value from the second symbol.
98Application code can retrieve the relocation entries for the
99symbol pair by calling function
100.Xr dwarf_get_relocation_info 3 .
101The relocation entry for the first symbol will have type
102.Dv dwarf_drt_first_of_length_pair
103and the relocation entry for the second symbol will have type
104.Dv dwarf_drt_second_of_length_pair .
105.It
106If argument
107.Ar end_symbol_index
108is 0, argument
109.Ar offset_from_end_symbol
110will be ignored and only one symbol is used for relocation.
111.El
112.Pp
113If argument
114.Ar err
115is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
116of an error.
117.Pp
118Function
119.Fn dwarf_add_arange
120is deprecated.
121It is similar to function
122.Fn dwarf_add_arange_b
123except that it cannot handle all possible symbol index values
124and supports only one relocation symbol.
125.Sh RETURN VALUES
126On success, these functions return a non-zero value.
127In case of an error, these functions return 0 and set
128the argument
129.Ar err .
130.Sh ERRORS
131These functions can fail with:
132.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
133.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
134Argument
135.Ar dbg
136was NULL.
137.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
138Argument
139.Ar end_symbol_index
140was non-zero, but the flag
141.Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS
142was not set on the producer instance.
143.It Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY
144An out of memory condition was encountered during the execution of the
145function.
