46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47Function
48.Fn dwarf_get_macro_details
49retrieves information about macros associated with a DWARF debug
50context.
51Information about macro entries are returned as an array of
52descriptors of type
53.Vt Dwarf_Macro_Details ,
54with each
55.Vt Dwarf_Macro_Details
56descriptor describing one macro information entry.
57.Pp
58Argument
59.Ar dbg
60should reference a DWARF debug context allocated using
61.Xr dwarf_init 3 .
62Argument
63.Ar offset
64is an offset, relative to the
65.Dq ".debug_macinfo"
66section, to the start of the desired macro information.
67Argument
68.Ar max_count
69specifies the maximum number of macro information entries
70to be returned, or 0 if all entries are to be returned.
71Argument
72.Ar entry_cnt
73should point to a location that will be set to the number
74of entries actually returned.
75Argument
76.Ar details
77should point to a location that will be set to a pointer to
78an array of
79.Vt Dwarf_Macro_Details
80descriptors.
81If argument
82.Ar err
83is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
84of an error.
85.Pp
86.Vt Dwarf_Macro_Details
87descriptors are defined in the header file
88.In libdwarf.h ,
89and consist of the following fields:
90.Bl -tag -width ".Va dmd_fileindex" -compact
91.It Va dmd_offset
92The section-relative offset within the
93.Dq ".debug_macinfo"
94section of the macro information entry being described.
95.It Va dmd_type
96The type code of this macro information entry; one of the
97.Dv DW_MACINFO_*
98constants defined by the DWARF specification.
99.It Va dmd_lineno
100The line number associated with the macro information
101entry, or 0 if there is no applicable line number.
102.It Va dmd_fileindex
103The source file index for the macro information entry.
104This field is only meaningful when
105.Va dmd_type
106field is set to
107.Dv DW_MACINFO_start_file .
108.It Va dmd_macro
109The contents of this field is a pointer to a NUL-terminated string
110whose meaning depends on the value of the
111.Va dmd_type
112field:
113.Bl -tag -width ".Dv DW_MACINFO_vendor_ext" -compact
114.It Dv DW_MACINFO_define
115The returned string contains the macro name and value.
116.It Dv DW_MACINFO_undef
117The string holds the macro name.
118.It Dv DW_MACINFO_vendor_ext
119The
120.Va dmd_macro
121field points to a vendor defined string.
122.El
123The field is NULL for other values of
124.Va dmd_type .
125.El
126.Ss Memory Management
127The memory area used for the array of
128.Vt Dwarf_Macro_Details
129descriptors returned in argument
130.Ar details
131is owned by the
132.Lb libdwarf .
133The application should not attempt to directly free this pointer.
134Portable code should instead use
135.Fn dwarf_dealloc
136with the allocation type
137.Dv DW_DLA_STRING
138to indicate that the memory may be freed.
139.Sh RETURN VALUES
140Function
141.Fn dwarf_get_macro_details
142returns
143.Dv DW_DLV_OK
144when it succeeds.
145It returns
146.Dv DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
147if there is no more macro information at the specified offset
148.Ar offset .
149In case of an error, it returns
150.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
151and sets the argument
152.Ar err .
153.Sh EXAMPLES
154To loop through all the macro information entries associated with
155a DWARF debug context:
156.Bd -literal -offset indent
157Dwarf_Debug dbg;
158Dwarf_Unsigned offset;
159Dwarf_Signed cnt;
160Dwarf_Macro_Details *md;
161Dwarf_Error de;
162
163offset = 0;
164while (dwarf_get_macro_details(dbg, offset, 0,
165    &cnt, &md, &de) == DW_DLV_OK) {
166	for (i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
167		/* Access fields of md[i] ... */
168	}
169	offset = md[cnt - 1].dmd_offset + 1;
170}
171.Ed
172.Sh ERRORS
173Function
174.Fn dwarf_get_macro_details
175can fail with:
176.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY"
177.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
178One of the arguments
179.Ar dbg ,
180.Ar entry_cnt
181or
182.Ar details
183was NULL.
184.It Bq Er DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY
185There is no more macro information at the specified offset
186.Ar offset .
