These functions retrieve frame related information for the specified DWARF debug
context.
Function
dwarf_get_fde_list() retrieves frame
information from the DWARF section named “.debug_frame”. For
objects containing GNU style C++ exception handling information, the function
dwarf_get_fde_list_eh() retrieves frame
information from the section named “.eh_frame”.
Frame information is returned using opaque descriptors of type
Dwarf_Cie and
Dwarf_Fde. Applications need to use the other
frame related functions in the DWARF(3) API set to retrieve the information
contained in these descriptors.
Argument
dbg should reference a DWARF debug
context allocated using
dwarf_init(3).
Argument
cie_list should point to a location
that will be set to a pointer to an array of
Dwarf_Cie descriptors.
Argument
cie_count should point to a location
that will be set to the number of
Dwarf_Cie
descriptors returned.
Argument
fde_list should point to a location
that will be set to a pointer to an array of
Dwarf_Fde descriptors.
Argument
fde_count should point to a location
that will be set to the number of
Dwarf_Fde
descriptors returned.
If argument
err is not NULL, it will be used to
store error information in case of an error.
The memory areas used for the arrays returned in arguments
cie_list and
fde_list are owned by the
DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf).
Application code should not attempt to directly free these areas. Portable
applications should instead use the
dwarf_fde_cie_list_dealloc(3)
function to indicate that these memory areas may be freed.
On success, these functions returns
DW_DLV_OK
. They return
DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY
if there is no frame
information associated with the given DWARF debug context. In case of an
error, they return
DW_DLV_ERROR
and set the
argument
err.
To obtain frame information from the “.debug_frame” section, use:
Dwarf_Debug dbg;
Dwarf_Cie *cie_list, cie;
Dwarf_Fde *fde_list, fde;
Dwarf_Off fde_offset, cie_offset;
Dwarf_Unsigned func_len, fde_length, fde_instlen;
Dwarf_Signed cie_count, fde_count, cie_index;
Dwarf_Addr low_pc;
Dwarf_Ptr fde_addr, fde_inst, cie_inst;
Dwarf_Error de;
int i;
if (dwarf_get_fde_list(dbg, &cie_list, &cie_count,
&fde_list, &fde_count, &de) != DW_DLV_OK) {
errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_get_fde_list failed: %s",
dwarf_errmsg(de));
}
for (i = 0; i < fde_count; i++) {
if (dwarf_get_fde_n(fde_list, i, &fde, &de) != DW_DLV_OK) {
warnx("dwarf_get_fde_n failed: %s",
dwarf_errmsg(de));
continue;
}
if (dwarf_get_cie_of_fde(fde, &cie, &de) != DW_DLV_OK) {
warnx("dwarf_get_fde_n failed: %s",
dwarf_errmsg(de));
continue;
}
if (dwarf_get_fde_range(fde, &low_pc, &func_len, &fde_addr,
&fde_length, &cie_offset, &cie_index, &fde_offset,
&de) != DW_DLV_OK) {
warnx("dwarf_get_fde_range failed: %s",
dwarf_errmsg(de));
continue;
}
if (dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes(fde, &fde_inst, &fde_instlen,
&de) != DW_DLV_OK) {
warnx("dwarf_get_fde_instr_bytes failed: %s",
dwarf_errmsg(de));
continue;
}
/* ... Use the retrieved frame information ... */
}
/* Indicate that the returned arrays may be freed. */

These functions may fail with the following errors:
-
-
- [
DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
]
- One of the arguments dbg,
cie_list,
cie_count,
fde_list or
fde_count was NULL.
-
-
- [
DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY
]
- There is no frame information associated with the giving
DWARF debug context.
