Implementations

impl<T> Dwarf<T>

pub fn load<F, E>(section: F) -> Result<Self, E>

where F: FnMut(SectionId) -> Result<T, E>,

Try to load the DWARF sections using the given loader function.

section loads a DWARF section from the object file. It should return an empty section if the section does not exist.

section may either directly return a Reader instance (such as EndianSlice), or it may return some other type and then convert that type into a Reader using Dwarf::borrow.

After loading, the user should set the file_type field and call load_sup if required.

pub fn load_sup<F, E>(&mut self, section: F) -> Result<(), E>

where F: FnMut(SectionId) -> Result<T, E>,

Load the DWARF sections from the supplementary object file.

section operates the same as for load.

Sets self.sup, replacing any previous value.

pub fn borrow<'a, F, R>(&'a self, borrow: F) -> Dwarf<R>

where F: FnMut(&'a T) -> R,

Create a Dwarf structure that references the data in self.

This is useful when R implements Reader but T does not.

Example Usage

It can be useful to load DWARF sections into owned data structures, such as Vec. However, we do not implement the Reader trait for Vec, because it would be very inefficient, but this trait is required for all of the methods that parse the DWARF data. So we first load the DWARF sections into Vecs, and then use borrow to create Readers that reference the data.

// Read the DWARF sections into `Vec`s with whatever object loader you're using.
let mut owned_dwarf: gimli::Dwarf<Vec<u8>> = gimli::Dwarf::load(loader)?;
owned_dwarf.load_sup(sup_loader)?;
// Create references to the DWARF sections.
let dwarf = owned_dwarf.borrow(|section| {
    gimli::EndianSlice::new(&section, gimli::LittleEndian)
});

pub fn sup(&self) -> Option<&Dwarf<T>>

Return a reference to the DWARF sections for supplementary object file.

impl<R: Reader> Dwarf<R>

pub fn units(&self) -> DebugInfoUnitHeadersIter<R>

pub fn unit(&self, header: UnitHeader<R>) -> Result<Unit<R>>

Construct a new Unit from the given unit header.

pub fn type_units(&self) -> DebugTypesUnitHeadersIter<R>

Iterate the type-unit headers in the .debug_types section.

Can be used with FallibleIterator.

Return the string offset at the given index.

pub fn string(&self, offset: DebugStrOffset<R::Offset>) -> Result<R>

Return the string at the given offset in .debug_str.

pub fn line_string(&self, offset: DebugLineStrOffset<R::Offset>) -> Result<R>

Return the string at the given offset in .debug_line_str.

pub fn attr_string(&self, unit: &Unit<R>, attr: AttributeValue<R>) -> Result<R>

Return an attribute value as a string slice.

If the attribute value is one of:

• an inline DW_FORM_string string
• a DW_FORM_strp reference to an offset into the .debug_str section
• a DW_FORM_strp_sup reference to an offset into a supplementary object file
• a DW_FORM_line_strp reference to an offset into the .debug_line_str section
• a DW_FORM_strx index into the .debug_str_offsets entries for the unit

then return the attribute’s string value. Returns an error if the attribute value does not have a string form, or if a string form has an invalid value.

pub fn address( &self, unit: &Unit<R>, index: DebugAddrIndex<R::Offset>, ) -> Result<u64>

Return the address at the given index.

pub fn attr_address( &self, unit: &Unit<R>, attr: AttributeValue<R>, ) -> Result<Option<u64>>

• a DW_FORM_addr
• a DW_FORM_addrx index into the .debug_addr entries for the unit

then return the address. Returns None for other forms.

pub fn ranges_offset_from_raw( &self, unit: &Unit<R>, offset: RawRangeListsOffset<R::Offset>, ) -> RangeListsOffset<R::Offset>

Return the range list offset for the given raw offset.

This handles adding DW_AT_GNU_ranges_base if required.

pub fn die_ranges( &self, unit: &Unit<R>, entry: &DebuggingInformationEntry<'_, '_, R>, ) -> Result<RangeIter<R>>

This uses DW_AT_low_pc, DW_AT_high_pc and DW_AT_ranges.

pub fn unit_ranges(&self, unit: &Unit<R>) -> Result<RangeIter<R>>

Return an iterator for the address ranges of a Unit.

This uses DW_AT_low_pc, DW_AT_high_pc and DW_AT_ranges of the root DebuggingInformationEntry.

pub fn locations_offset( &self, unit: &Unit<R>, index: DebugLocListsIndex<R::Offset>, ) -> Result<LocationListsOffset<R::Offset>>

pub fn attr_locations_offset( &self, unit: &Unit<R>, attr: AttributeValue<R>, ) -> Result<Option<LocationListsOffset<R::Offset>>>

Try to return an attribute value as a location list offset.

If the attribute value is one of:

• a DW_FORM_sec_offset reference to the .debug_loc or .debug_loclists sections

pub fn lookup_offset_id( &self, id: ReaderOffsetId, ) -> Option<(bool, SectionId, R::Offset)>

Call Reader::lookup_offset_id for each section, and return the first match.

The first element of the tuple is true for supplementary sections.

pub fn format_error(&self, err: Error) -> String

Returns a string representation of the given error.

Assuming self was loaded from a .dwo, take the appropriate sections from parent (which contains the skeleton unit for this dwo) such as .debug_addr and merge them into this Dwarf.
