DWARF_DEF_MACRO(3) Library Functions Manual DWARF_DEF_MACRO(3)

dwarf_def_macro
add a macro definition to a DWARF producer instance

DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)

#include <libdwarf.h>

int
dwarf_def_macro(Dwarf_P_Debug dbg, Dwarf_Unsigned lineno, char *name, char *value, Dwarf_Error *err);

Function dwarf_def_macro() adds a macro definition to a DWARF producer instance.

Argument dbg should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using dwarf_producer_init(3) or dwarf_producer_init_b(3).

Argument lineno specifies the line number of the source line where the macro is defined. A line number of zero is used for macros that are defined before any source file is read.

Argument name should point to a NUL-terminated string containing the name of the macro. For function-like macros this parameter should also include parentheses and parameter names if any.

Argument value should point to a NUL-terminated string containing the value of the macro. If the macro does not have a value, argument value should be set to NULL.

If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.

On success, function dwarf_def_macro() returns DW_DLV_OK. In case of an error, function dwarf_def_macro() returns DW_DLV_ERROR and sets the argument err.

To record the fact that a macro named _STDIO_H_ was defined at line 20 of the current macro file, use:
Dwarf_P_Debug dbg;
Dwarf_Error de;

/* ... Assume 'dbg' refers to a DWARF producer instance... */
if (dwarf_def_macro(dbg, 20, "_STDIO_H_", NULL, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_def_macro failed: %s",
	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));

Function dwarf_def_macro() can fail with:
[]
Either arguments dbg or name was NULL.
[]
An out of memory condition was encountered during the execution of the function.
