61.Sh DESCRIPTION
62Function
63.Fn dwarf_add_frame_fde_b
64adds the call frame descriptor referenced by argument
65.Ar fde
66to a producer instance.
67.Pp
68Argument
69.Ar dbg
70should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
71.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
72or
73.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
74.Pp
75Argument
76.Ar fde
77should reference a frame descriptor allocated using
78.Xr dwarf_new_fde 3 .
79.Pp
80Argument
81.Ar die
82is ignored by this implementation of the
83.Lb libdwarf .
84.Pp
85Argument
86.Ar cie
87specifies the index of call frame common information entry for
88the frame descriptor.
89Valid indices are those returned by the function
90.Xr dwarf_add_frame_cie 3 .
91.Pp
92Argument
93.Ar symbol_index
94specifies the ELF symbol index of the first symbol to be used for
95relocation.
96.Pp
97The meaning of the arguments
98.Ar virt_addr ,
99.Ar code_len
100and
101.Ar offset_from_end_sym
102depend on the value of argument
103.Ar end_symbol_index :
104.Bl -bullet
105.It
106If the argument
107.Ar end_symbol_index
108is zero, the argument
109.Ar virt_addr
110specifies the relocatable address of the start of the function
111associated with the frame descriptor, the argument
112.Ar code_len
113specifies the size in bytes of the machine instructions for this
114function, the argument
115.Ar symbol_index
116specifies the ELF symbol to be used for relocating the address in
117argument
118.Ar virt_addr ,
119and the argument
120.Ar offset_from_end_symbol
121is ignored.
122.It
123If the argument
124.Ar end_symbol_index
125is non-zero, it specifies the ELF symbol index of the second symbol to
126be used for relocation.
127In this case, the argument
128.Ar virt_addr
129specifies an offset from the relocatable symbol specified by argument
130.Ar symbol_index ,
131the argument
132.Ar offset_from_end_symbol
133should specify an offset from the symbol named by the argument
134.Ar end_symbol_index ,
135and the argument
136.Ar code_len
137will be ignored.
138The
139.Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS
140flag should also have been set on the DWARF producer instance.
141.Pp
142Application code can retrieve the relocation entries for the symbol
143pair by calling function
144.Xr dwarf_get_relocation_info 3 .
145The relocation entry for the first symbol will have type
146.Dv dwarf_drt_first_of_length_pair
147and the relocation entry for the second symbol will have type
148.Dv dwarf_drt_second_of_length_pair .
149.El
150.Pp
151If argument
152.Ar err
153is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
154of an error.
155.Pp
156Function
157.Fn dwarf_add_frame_fde
158is similar to function
159.Fn dwarf_add_frame_fde_b
160except that it supports only one relocation symbol.
161.Sh RETURN VALUES
162On success, these functions return the index value for
163the added frame descriptor.
164In case of an error, these functions return
165.Dv DW_DLV_NOCOUNT
166and set the argument
167.Ar err .
168.Sh ERRORS
169These functions can fail with:
170.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
171.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
172One of the arguments
173.Ar dbg
174or
175.Ar fde
176was NULL.
177.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
178The frame descriptor referenced by argument
179.Ar fde
180did not belong to the producer instance referenced by argument
181.Ar dbg .
182.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
183The common information entry index specified by argument
184.Ar cie
185was invalid.
186.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
187Argument
188.Ar end_symbol_index
189was non-zero, but the flag
190.Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS
191was not set on the producer instance.
