\chapter{Data Representation}
\label{datarep:datarepresentation}

This section describes the binary representation of the
debugging information entry itself, of the attribute types
and of other fundamental elements described above.

\section{Vendor Extensibility}
\label{datarep:vendorextensibility}
\addtoindexx{vendor extensibility}
\addtoindexx{vendor specific extensions|see{vendor extensibility}}

To 
\addtoindexx{extensibility|see{vendor extensibility}}
reserve a portion of the DWARF name space and ranges of
enumeration values for use for vendor specific extensions,
special labels are reserved for tag names, attribute names,
base type encodings, location operations, language names,
calling conventions and call frame instructions.

The labels denoting the beginning and end of the 
\hypertarget{chap:DWXXXlohiuser}{reserved value range}
for vendor specific extensions consist of the
appropriate prefix 
(\DWATlouserMARK{}\DWAThiuserMARK{}DW\_AT, 
\DWATElouserMARK{}\DWATEhiuserMARK{}DW\_ATE, 
\DWCClouserMARK{}\DWCChiuserMARK{}DW\_CC, 
\DWCFAlouserMARK{}\DWCFAhiuserMARK{}DW\_CFA, 
\DWENDlouserMARK{}\DWENDhiuserMARK{}DW\_END, 
\DWIDXlouserMARK{}\DWIDXhiuserMARK{}DW\_IDX, 
\DWLANGlouserMARK{}\DWLANGhiuserMARK{}DW\_LANG, 
\DWLNCTlouserMARK{}\DWLNCThiuserMARK{}DW\_LNCT, 
\DWLNElouserMARK{}\DWLNEhiuserMARK{}DW\_LNE, 
\DWMACROlouserMARK{}\DWMACROhiuserMARK{}DW\_MACRO, 
\DWOPlouserMARK{}\DWOPhiuserMARK{}DW\_OP or 
\DWTAGlouserMARK{}\DWTAGhiuserMARK{}DW\_TAG) 
followed by \_lo\_user or \_hi\_user. 
Values in the  range between \textit{prefix}\_lo\_user 
and \textit{prefix}\_hi\_user inclusive,
are reserved for vendor specific extensions. Vendors may
use values in this range without conflicting with current or
future system\dash defined values. All other values are reserved
for use by the system.

\textit{For example, for debugging information entry
tags, the special labels are \DWTAGlouserNAME{} and \DWTAGhiuserNAME.}

\textit{There may also be codes for vendor specific extensions
between the number of standard line number opcodes and
the first special line number opcode. However, since the
number of standard opcodes varies with the DWARF version,
the range for extensions is also version dependent. Thus,
\DWLNSlouserTARG{} and 
\DWLNShiuserTARG{} symbols are not defined.}

Vendor defined tags, attributes, base type encodings, location
atoms, language names, line number actions, calling conventions
and call frame instructions, conventionally use the form
\text{prefix\_vendor\_id\_name}, where 
\textit{vendor\_id}\addtoindexx{vendor id} is some identifying
character sequence chosen so as to avoid conflicts with
other vendors.

To ensure that extensions added by one vendor may be safely
ignored by consumers that do not understand those extensions,
the following rules must be followed:
\begin{enumerate}[1. ]

\item New attributes are added in such a way that a
debugger may recognize the format of a new attribute value
without knowing the content of that attribute value.

\item The semantics of any new attributes do not alter
the semantics of previously existing attributes.

\item The semantics of any new tags do not conflict with
the semantics of previously existing tags.

\item New forms of attribute value are not added.

\end{enumerate}


\section{Reserved Values}
\label{datarep:reservedvalues}
\subsection{Error Values}
\label{datarep:errorvalues}
\addtoindexx{reserved values!error}

As 
\addtoindexx{error value}
a convenience for consumers of DWARF information, the value
0 is reserved in the encodings for attribute names, attribute
forms, base type encodings, location operations, languages,
line number program opcodes, macro information entries and tag
names to represent an error condition or unknown value. DWARF
does not specify names for these reserved values, because they
do not represent valid encodings for the given type and do
not appear in DWARF debugging information.


\subsection{Initial Length Values}
\label{datarep:initiallengthvalues}
\addtoindexx{reserved values!initial length}

An \livetarg{datarep:initiallengthvalues}{initial length} field 
\addtoindexx{initial length field|see{initial length}}
is one of the fields that occur at the beginning 
of those DWARF sections that have a header
(\dotdebugaranges{}, 
\dotdebuginfo{}, 
\dotdebugline{},
\bb
\dotdebugloclists{},
\dotdebugnames{} and
\dotdebugrnglists) 
\eb
or the length field
that occurs at the beginning of the CIE and FDE structures
in the \dotdebugframe{} section.

\needlines{4}
In an \addtoindex{initial length} field, the values \wfffffffzero through
\wffffffff are reserved by DWARF to indicate some form of
extension relative to \DWARFVersionII; such values must not
be interpreted as a length field. The use of one such value,
\xffffffff, is defined in
Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}); 
the use of
the other values is reserved for possible future extensions.


\section{Relocatable, Split, Executable, Shared and Package Object Files} 
\label{datarep:executableobjectsandsharedobjects}

\subsection{Relocatable Object Files}
\label{datarep:relocatableobjectfiles}
A DWARF producer (for example, a compiler) typically generates its
debugging information as part of a relocatable object file.
Relocatable object files are then combined by a linker to form an
executable file. During the linking process, the linker resolves
(binds) symbolic references between the various object files, and
relocates the contents of each object file into a combined virtual
address space.

The DWARF debugging information is placed in several sections (see
Appendix \refersec{app:debugsectionrelationshipsinformative}), and 
requires an object file format capable of
representing these separate sections. There are symbolic references
between these sections, and also between the debugging information
sections and the other sections that contain the text and data of the
program itself. Many of these references require relocation, and the
producer must emit the relocation information appropriate to the
object file format and the target processor architecture. These
references include the following:

\begin{itemize}
\item The compilation unit header (see Section 
\refersec{datarep:unitheaders}) in the \dotdebuginfo{}
section contains a reference to the \dotdebugabbrev{} table. This
reference requires a relocation so that after linking, it refers to
that contribution to the combined \dotdebugabbrev{} section in the
executable file.

\item Debugging information entries may have attributes with the form
\DWFORMaddr{} (see Section \refersec{datarep:attributeencodings}). 
These attributes represent locations
within the virtual address space of the program, and require
relocation.

\item A DWARF expression may contain a \DWOPaddr{} (see Section 
\refersec{chap:literalencodings}) which contains a location within 
the virtual address space of the program, and require relocation.

\needlines{4}
\item Debugging information entries may have attributes with the form
\DWFORMsecoffset{} (see Section \refersec{datarep:attributeencodings}). 
These attributes refer to
debugging information in other debugging information sections within
the object file, and must be relocated during the linking process.

\bbpareb

\item Debugging information entries may have attributes with the form
\DWFORMrefaddr{} (see Section \refersec{datarep:attributeencodings}). 
These attributes refer to
debugging information entries that may be outside the current
compilation unit. These values require both symbolic binding and
relocation.

\item Debugging information entries may have attributes with the form
\DWFORMstrp{} (see Section \refersec{datarep:attributeencodings}). 
These attributes refer to strings in
the \dotdebugstr{} section. These values require relocation.

\item Entries in the \dotdebugaddr{} 
\bbeb
and \dotdebugaranges{}
sections may contain references to locations within the virtual address
space of the program, and thus require relocation.

\bb
\item Entries in the \dotdebugloclists{} and \dotdebugrnglists{} sections may
contain references to locations within the virtual address space of the 
program depending on whether certain kinds of location or range
list entries are used, and thus require relocation.
\eb

\item In the \dotdebugline{} section, the operand of the \DWLNEsetaddress{}
opcode is a reference to a location within the virtual address space
of the program, and requires relocation.

\item The \dotdebugstroffsets{} section contains a list of string offsets,
each of which is an offset of a string in the \dotdebugstr{} section. Each
of these offsets requires relocation. Depending on the implementation,
these relocations may be implicit (that is, the producer may not need to
emit any explicit relocation information for these offsets).

\item The \HFNdebuginfooffset{} field in the \dotdebugaranges{} header and 
the list of compilation units following the \dotdebugnames{} header contain 
references to the \dotdebuginfo{} section.  These references require relocation 
so that after linking they refer to the correct contribution in the combined 
\dotdebuginfo{} section in the executable file.

\item Frame descriptor entries in the \dotdebugframe{} section 
(see Section \refersec{chap:structureofcallframeinformation}) contain an 
\HFNinitiallocation{} field value within the virtual address 
space of the program and require relocation. 

\end{itemize}

\needlines{4}
\textit{Note that operands of classes 
\CLASSconstant{} and 
\CLASSflag{} do not require relocation. Attribute operands that use 
forms \DWFORMstring{},
\DWFORMrefone, \DWFORMreftwo, \DWFORMreffour, \DWFORMrefeight, or
\DWFORMrefudata{} also do not need relocation.}

\subsection{Split DWARF Object Files}
\label{datarep:splitdwarfobjectfiles}
\addtoindexx{split DWARF object file}
A DWARF producer may partition the debugging
information such that the majority of the debugging
information can remain in individual object files without
being processed by the linker. 

\textit{This reduces link time by reducing the amount of information
the linker must process.}

\needlines{6}
\subsubsection{First Partition (with Skeleton Unit)}
The first partition contains
debugging information that must still be processed by the linker,
and includes the following:
\begin{itemize}
\item
The line number tables, 
\bbeb
frame tables, and
accelerated access tables, in the usual sections:
\dotdebugline, \dotdebuglinestr, 
\dotdebugframe, \dotdebugnames{} and \dotdebugaranges,
respectively.
\needlines{4}
\item
An address table, in the \dotdebugaddr{} section. This table
contains all addresses and constants that require
link-time relocation, and items in the table can be
referenced indirectly from the debugging information via
the \DWFORMaddrx{} form, 
\bb
by the \DWOPaddrx{} and \DWOPconstx{} operators, and
by certain of the \texttt{DW\_LLE\_*} location list
and \texttt{DW\_RLE\_*} range list entries.
\eb
\item
A skeleton compilation unit, as described in Section
\refersec{chap:skeletoncompilationunitentries}, 
in the \dotdebuginfo{} section.
\item
An abbreviations table for the skeleton compilation unit,
in the \dotdebugabbrev{} section
\bb
used by the \dotdebuginfo{} section.
\eb

\item
A string table, in the \dotdebugstr{} section. The string
table is necessary only if the skeleton compilation unit
uses either indirect string form, \DWFORMstrp{} or
\DWFORMstrx.
\item
A string offsets table, in the \dotdebugstroffsets{}
section
\bb
for strings in the \dotdebugstr{} section. 
\eb
The string offsets table is necessary only if
the skeleton compilation unit uses the \DWFORMstrx{} form.
\end{itemize}
The attributes contained in the skeleton compilation
unit can be used by a DWARF consumer to find the 
DWARF object file that contains the second partition.

\subsubsection{Second Partition (Unlinked or in a \texttt{.dwo} File)}
The second partition contains the debugging information that
does not need to be processed by the linker. These sections
may be left in the object files and ignored by the linker
(that is, not combined and copied to the executable object file), or
they may be placed by the producer in a separate DWARF object
file. This partition includes the following:
\begin{itemize}
\item
The full compilation unit, in the \dotdebuginfodwo{} section.

Attributes contained in the full compilation unit
may refer to machine addresses indirectly using the \DWFORMaddrx{} 
form, which accesses the table of addresses specified by the
\DWATaddrbase{} attribute in the associated skeleton unit.
Location descriptions may similarly do so using the \DWOPaddrx{} and
\DWOPconstx{} operations. 

\bbpareb

\item Separate type units, in the \dotdebuginfodwo{} section.

\item
Abbreviations table(s) for the compilation unit and type
units, in the \dotdebugabbrevdwo{} section
\bb
used by the \dotdebuginfodwo{} section.
\eb

\item Location lists, in the 
\bb
\dotdebugloclistsdwo{} section.
\eb

\bb
\item Range lists, in the \dotdebugrnglistsdwo{} section.
\eb

\item
A \addtoindex{specialized line number table} (for the type units), 
in the \dotdebuglinedwo{} section. 

This table
contains only the directory and filename lists needed to
interpret \DWATdeclfile{} attributes in the debugging
information entries.

\item Macro information, in the \dotdebugmacrodwo{} section.

\item A string table, in the \dotdebugstrdwo{} section.

\item A string offsets table, in the \dotdebugstroffsetsdwo{}
section
\bb
for the strings in the \dotdebugstrdwo{} section.
\eb
\end{itemize}

Except where noted otherwise, all references in this document
to a debugging information section (for example, \dotdebuginfo),
apply also to the corresponding split DWARF section (for example,
\dotdebuginfodwo).

\needlines{4}
Split DWARF object files do not get linked with any other files,
therefore references between sections must not make use of
normal object file relocation information. As a result, symbolic
references within or between sections are not possible.

\subsection{Executable Objects}
\label{chap:executableobjects}
The relocated addresses in the debugging information for an
executable object are virtual addresses.

The sections containing the debugging information are typically
not loaded as part of the memory image of the program (in ELF
terminology, the sections are not "allocatable" and are not part
of a loadable segment). Therefore, the debugging information
sections described in this document are typically linked as if
they were each to be loaded at virtual address 0, and references
within the debugging information always implicitly indicate which
section a particular offset refers to. (For example, a reference
of form \DWFORMsecoffset{} may refer to one of several sections,
depending on the class allowed by a particular attribute of a
debugging information entry, as shown in 
Table \refersec{tab:attributeencodings}.)

\needlines{6}
\subsection{Shared Object Files}
\label{datarep:sharedobjectfiles}
The relocated
addresses in the debugging information for a shared object file
are offsets relative to the start of the lowest region of
memory loaded from that shared object file.

\needlines{4}
\textit{This requirement makes the debugging information for
shared object files position independent.  Virtual addresses in a
shared object file may be calculated by adding the offset to the
base address at which the object file was attached. This offset
is available in the run\dash time linker\textquoteright s data structures.}

As with executable objects, the sections containing debugging
information are typically not loaded as part of the memory image
of the shared object, and are typically linked as if they were
each to be loaded at virtual address 0.

\subsection{DWARF Package Files}
\label{datarep:dwarfpackagefiles}
\textit{Using \splitDWARFobjectfile{s} allows the developer to compile, 
link, and debug an application quickly with less link-time overhead,
but a more convenient format is needed for saving the debug
information for later debugging of a deployed application. A
DWARF package file can be used to collect the debugging
information from the object (or separate DWARF object) files
produced during the compilation of an application.}

\textit{The package file is typically placed in the same directory as the
application, and is given the same name with a \doublequote{\texttt{.dwp}}
extension.\addtoindexx{\texttt{.dwp} file extension}}

\needlines{4}
A DWARF package file is itself an object file, using the
\addtoindexx{package files}
\addtoindexx{DWARF package files}
same object file format (including \byteorder) as the
corresponding application binary. It consists only of a file
header, a section table, a number of DWARF debug information
sections, and two index sections.

\needlines{10}
Each DWARF package file contains no more than one of each of the
following sections, copied from a set of object or DWARF object
files, and combined, section by section:
\begin{alltt}
    \dotdebuginfodwo
    \dotdebugabbrevdwo
    \dotdebuglinedwo
    \dotdebugloclistsdwo
    \dotdebugrnglistsdwo
    \dotdebugstroffsetsdwo
    \dotdebugstrdwo
    \dotdebugmacrodwo
\end{alltt}

The string table section in \dotdebugstrdwo{} contains all the
strings referenced from DWARF attributes using the form
\DWFORMstrx. Any attribute in a compilation unit or a type
unit using this form refers to an entry in that unit's
contribution to the \dotdebugstroffsetsdwo{} section, which in turn
provides the offset of a string in the \dotdebugstrdwo{}
section.

The DWARF package file also contains two index sections that
provide a fast way to locate debug information by compilation
unit ID for compilation units, or by type
signature for type units:
\begin{alltt}
    \dotdebugcuindex
    \dotdebugtuindex
\end{alltt}

\subsubsection{The Compilation Unit (CU) Index Section}
The \dotdebugcuindex{} section is a hashed lookup table that maps a
compilation unit ID to a set of contributions in the
various debug information sections. Each contribution is stored
as an offset within its corresponding section and a size.

Each \compunitset{} may contain contributions from the
following sections:
\begin{alltt}
    \dotdebuginfodwo{} (required)
    \dotdebugabbrevdwo{} (required)
    \dotdebuglinedwo
    \dotdebugloclistsdwo
    \dotdebugrnglistsdwo
    \dotdebugstroffsetsdwo
    \dotdebugmacrodwo
\end{alltt}

\textit{Note that a \compunitset{} is not able to represent \dotdebugmacinfo{}
information from \DWARFVersionIV{} or earlier formats.}

\subsubsection{The Type Unit (TU) Index Section}
The \dotdebugtuindex{} section is a hashed lookup table that maps a
type signature to a set of offsets in the various debug
information sections. Each contribution is stored as an offset
within its corresponding section and a size.

Each \typeunitset{} may contain contributions from the following
sections:
\begin{alltt}
    \dotdebuginfodwo{} (required) 
    \dotdebugabbrevdwo{} (required)
    \dotdebuglinedwo
    \dotdebugstroffsetsdwo
\end{alltt}

\subsubsection{Format of the CU and TU Index Sections}
Both index sections have the same format, and serve to map an
8-byte signature to a set of contributions to the debug sections.
Each index section begins with a header, followed by a hash table of
signatures, a parallel table of indexes, a table of offsets, and
a table of sizes. The index sections are aligned at 8-byte
boundaries in the DWARF package file.

\needlines{6}
The index section header contains the following fields:
\begin{enumerate}[1. ]
\item \texttt{version} (\HFTuhalf) \\
A version number.
\addtoindexx{version number!CU index information} 
\addtoindexx{version number!TU index information}
This number is specific to the CU and TU index information
and is independent of the DWARF version number.

The version number is \versiondotdebugcuindex.

\item \textit{padding} (\HFTuhalf) \\
Reserved to DWARF (must be zero).
\item \texttt{section\_count} (\HFTuword) \\
The number of entries in the table of section counts that follows.
For brevity, the contents of this field is referred to as $N$ below.

\item \texttt{unit\_count} (\HFTuword) \\
The number of compilation units or type units in the index.
For brevity, the contents of this field is referred to as $U$ below.

\item \texttt{slot\_count} (\HFTuword) \\
The number of slots in the hash table.
For brevity, the contents of this field is referred to as $S$ below.

\end{enumerate}

\textit{We assume that $U$ and $S$ do not exceed $2^{32}$.}

The size of the hash table, $S$, must be $2^k$ such that:
\hspace{0.3cm}$2^k\ \ >\ \ 3*U/2$

The hash table begins at offset 16 in the section, and consists
of an array of $S$ 8-byte slots. Each slot contains a 64-bit
signature.
% (using the \byteorder{} of the application binary).

The parallel table of indices begins immediately after the hash table 
(at offset \mbox{$16 + 8 * S$} from the beginning of the section), and
consists of an array of $S$ 4-byte slots,
% (using the byte order of the application binary), 
corresponding 1-1 with slots in the hash
table. Each entry in the parallel table contains a row index into
the tables of offsets and sizes.

Unused slots in the hash table have 0 in both the hash table
entry and the parallel table entry. While 0 is a valid hash
value, the row index in a used slot will always be non-zero.

Given an 8-byte compilation unit ID or type signature $X$,
an entry in the hash table is located as follows:
\begin{enumerate}[1. ]
\item Define $REP(X)$ to be the value of $X$ interpreted as an 
      unsigned 64-bit integer in the target byte order.
\item Calculate a primary hash $H = REP(X)\ \&\ MASK(k)$, where
      $MASK(k)$ is a mask with the low-order $k$ bits all set to 1.
\item Calculate a secondary hash $H' = (((REP(X)>>32)\ \&\ MASK(k))\ |\ 1)$.
\item If the hash table entry at index $H$ matches the signature, use
      that entry. If the hash table entry at index $H$ is unused (all
      zeroes), terminate the search: the signature is not present
      in the table.
\item Let $H = (H + H')\ modulo\ S$. Repeat at Step 4.
\end{enumerate}

Because $S > U$, and $H'$ and $S$ are relatively prime, the search is
guaranteed to stop at an unused slot or find the match.

\needlines{4}
The table of offsets begins immediately following the parallel
table (at offset \mbox{$16 + 12 * S$} from the beginning of the section).
\bb
This table consists of a single header row containing $N$ fields,
each a 4-byte unsigned integer, followed by $U$ data rows, each
also containing $N$ fields of 4-byte unsigned integers. The fields
in the header row provide a section identifier referring to a
debug section; the available section identifiers are shown in
Table \referfol{tab:dwarfpackagefilesectionidentifierencodings}. 
Each data row corresponds to a specific CU
or TU in the package file. In the data rows, each field provides
an offset to the debug section whose identifier appears in the
corresponding field of the header row. The data rows are indexed
starting at 1.

The offsets provided by the CU and TU index sections are the 
base offsets for the contributions made by each CU or TU to the
corresponding section in the package file. Each CU and TU header
contains a \HFNdebugabbrevoffset{} field, used to find the abbreviations
table for that CU or TU within the contribution to the
\dotdebugabbrevdwo{} section for that CU or TU, and are
interpreted as relative to the base offset given in the index
section. Likewise, offsets into \dotdebuglinedwo{} from
\DWATstmtlist{} attributes are interpreted as relative to
the base offset for \dotdebuglinedwo{}, and offsets into other debug
sections obtained from DWARF attributes are also 
interpreted as relative to the corresponding base offset.

The table of sizes begins immediately following the table of
offsets, and provides the sizes of the contributions made by each
CU or TU to the corresponding section in the package file. 
\bb
This
table consists of U data rows, each with N fields of 4-byte
unsigned integers. Each data row corresponds to the same CU or TU
as the corresponding data row in the table of offsets described
above. Within each data row, the N fields also correspond
one-to-one with the fields in the corresponding data row of the
table of offsets. Each field provides the size of the
contribution made by a CU or TU to the corresponding section in
the package file.
\eb

For an example, see Figure \refersec{fig:examplecuindexsection}.

\subsection{DWARF Supplementary Object Files}
\label{datarep:dwarfsupplemetaryobjectfiles}
In order to minimize the size of debugging information, 
it is possible to move duplicate debug information entries, 
strings and macro entries from several executables or shared 
object files into a separate 
\addtoindexi{\textit{supplementary object file}}{supplementary object file} 
by some post-linking utility; the moved entries and strings can 
then be referenced
from the debugging information of each of those executable or 
shared object files.

This facilitates distribution of separate consolidated debug files in
a simple manner.

\needlines{4}
A DWARF \addtoindex{supplementary object file} is itself an object file, 
using the same object
file format, \byteorder{}, and size as the corresponding application executables
or shared libraries. It consists only of a file header, section table, and
a number of DWARF debug information sections.  Both the 
\addtoindex{supplementary object file}
and all the executable or shared object files that reference entries or strings in that
file must contain a \dotdebugsup{} section that establishes the relationship.

The \dotdebugsup{} section contains:
\begin{enumerate}[1. ]
\item \texttt{version} (\HFTuhalf) \\
\addttindexx{version}
A 2-byte unsigned integer representing the version of the DWARF
information for the compilation unit. 

The value in this field is \versiondotdebugsup.

\item \texttt{is\_supplementary} (\HFTubyte) \\
\addttindexx{is\_supplementary}
A 1-byte unsigned integer, which contains the value 1 if it is
in the \addtoindex{supplementary object file} that other executable or 
shared object files refer to, or 0 if it is an executable or shared object 
referring to a \addtoindex{supplementary object file}.

\needlines{4}
\item \texttt{sup\_filename} (null terminated filename string) \\
\addttindexx{sup\_filename}
If \addttindex{is\_supplementary} is 0, this contains either an absolute 
filename for the \addtoindex{supplementary object file}, or a filename 
relative to the object file containing the \dotdebugsup{} section.  
If \addttindex{is\_supplementary} is 1, then \addttindex{sup\_filename}
is not needed and must be an empty string (a single null byte).

\needlines{4}
\item \texttt{sup\_checksum\_len} (unsigned LEB128) \\
\addttindexx{sup\_checksum\_len}
Length of the following \addttindex{sup\_checksum} field; 
this value can be 0 if no checksum is provided.

\item \texttt{sup\_checksum} (array of \HFTubyte) \\
\addttindexx{sup\_checksum}
An implementation-defined integer constant value that
provides unique identification of the supplementary file.

\end{enumerate}

Debug information entries that refer to an executable's or shared
object's addresses must \emph{not} be moved to supplementary files 
(the addesses will likely not be the same). Similarly,
entries referenced from within location descriptions or using loclistsptr
form attributes must not be moved to a \addtoindex{supplementary object file}.

Executable or shared object file compilation units can use
\DWTAGimportedunit{} with \DWFORMrefsup{} form \DWATimport{} attribute
to import entries from the \addtoindex{supplementary object file}, other \DWFORMrefsup{}
attributes to refer to them and \DWFORMstrpsup{} form attributes to
refer to strings that are used by debug information of multiple
executables or shared object files.  Within the \addtoindex{supplementary object file}'s
debugging sections, form \DWFORMrefsup{} or \DWFORMstrpsup{} are
not used, and all reference forms referring to some other sections
refer to the local sections in the \addtoindex{supplementary object file}.

In macro information, \DWMACROdefinesup{} or
\DWMACROundefsup{} opcodes can refer to strings in the 
\dotdebugstr{} section of the \addtoindex{supplementary object file}, 
or \DWMACROimportsup{} 
can refer to \dotdebugmacro{} section entries.  Within the 
\dotdebugmacro{} section of a \addtoindex{supplementary object file}, 
\DWMACROdefinestrp{} and \DWMACROundefstrp{}
opcodes refer to the local \dotdebugstr{} section in that
supplementary file, not the one in
the executable or shared object file.

\section{32-Bit and 64-Bit DWARF Formats}
\label{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}
\hypertarget{datarep:xxbitdwffmt}{}
\addtoindexx{32-bit DWARF format}
\addtoindexx{64-bit DWARF format}
There are two closely-related DWARF
formats. In the 32-bit DWARF
format, all values that represent lengths of DWARF sections
and offsets relative to the beginning of DWARF sections are
represented using four bytes. In the 64-bit DWARF format, all
values that represent lengths of DWARF sections and offsets
relative to the beginning of DWARF sections are represented
using eight bytes. A special convention applies to the initial
length field of certain DWARF sections, as well as the CIE and
FDE structures, so that the 32-bit and 64-bit DWARF formats
can coexist and be distinguished within a single linked object.

Except where noted otherwise, all references in this document
to a debugging information section (for example, \dotdebuginfo),
apply also to the corresponding split DWARF section (for example,
\dotdebuginfodwo).

The differences between the 32- and 64-bit DWARF formats are
detailed in the following:
\begin{enumerate}[1. ]

\item  In the 32-bit DWARF format, an 
\addtoindex{initial length} field (see 
\addtoindexx{initial length!encoding}
Section \ref{datarep:initiallengthvalues} on page \pageref{datarep:initiallengthvalues})
is an unsigned 4-byte integer (which
must be less than \xfffffffzero); in the 64-bit DWARF format,
an \addtoindex{initial length} field is 12 bytes in size,
and has two parts:
\begin{itemize}
\item The first four bytes have the value \xffffffff.

\item  The following eight bytes contain the actual length
represented as an unsigned 8-byte integer.
\end{itemize}

\textit{This representation allows a DWARF consumer to dynamically
detect that a DWARF section contribution is using the 64-bit
format and to adapt its processing accordingly.}

\needlines{4}
\item \hypertarget{datarep:sectionoffsetlength}{}
Section offset and section length
\addtoindexx{section length!use in headers}
fields that occur
\addtoindexx{section offset!use in headers}
in the headers of DWARF sections (other than initial length
\addtoindexx{initial length}
fields) are listed following. In the 32-bit DWARF format these
are 4-byte unsigned integer values; in the 64-bit DWARF format,
they are 8-byte unsigned integer values.

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
Section &Name & Role  \\ \hline
\dotdebugaranges{}   & \addttindex{debug\_info\_offset}   & offset in \dotdebuginfo{} \\

                     & or local TUs                       & \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\needlines{4}
The \texttt{CIE\_id} field in a CIE structure must be 64 bits because
it overlays the \texttt{CIE\_pointer} in a FDE structure; this implicit
union must be accessed to distinguish whether a CIE or FDE is
present, consequently, these two fields must exactly overlay
each other (both offset and size).

\item Within the body of the \dotdebuginfo{}
section, certain forms of attribute value depend on the choice
of DWARF format as follows. For the 32-bit DWARF format,
the value is a 4-byte unsigned integer; for the 64-bit DWARF
format, the value is an 8-byte unsigned integer.

\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\needlines{5}
\item Within the body of the \dotdebugline{} section, certain forms of content
description depend on the choice of DWARF format as follows: for the
32-bit DWARF format, the value is a 4-byte unsigned integer; for the
64-bit DWARF format, the value is a 8-byte unsigned integer.
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lp{6cm}}
Form             & Role  \\ \hline
\DWFORMlinestrp  & offset in \dotdebuglinestr
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\item Within the body of the \dotdebugnames{} 
sections, the representation of each entry in the array of
compilation units (CUs) and the array of local type units
(TUs), which represents an offset in the 
\dotdebuginfo{}
section, depends on the DWARF format as follows: in the
32-bit DWARF format, each entry is a 4-byte unsigned integer;
in the 64-bit DWARF format, it is a 8-byte unsigned integer.

\needlines{4}
\item In the body of the \dotdebugstroffsets{} 
sections, the size of entries in the body depend on the DWARF
format as follows: in the 32-bit DWARF format, entries are 4-byte
unsigned integer values; in the 64-bit DWARF format, they are
8-byte unsigned integers.

\item In the body of the \dotdebugaddr{}
\bb
section, 
\eb
the contents of the address size fields depends on the
DWARF format as follows: in the 32-bit DWARF format, these fields
contain 4; in the 64-bit DWARF format these fields contain 8.

\bb
\item In the body of the \dotdebugloclists{} and \dotdebugrnglists{}
sections, the offsets the follow the header depend on the
DWARF format as follows: in the 32-bit DWARF format, offsets are 4-byte
unsigned integer values; in the 64-bit DWARF format, they are
8-byte unsigned integers.
\eb

\end{enumerate}


The 32-bit and 64-bit DWARF format conventions must \emph{not} be
intermixed within a single compilation unit.

\textit{Attribute values and section header fields that represent
addresses in the target program are not affected by these
rules.}

A DWARF consumer that supports the 64-bit DWARF format must
support executables in which some compilation units use the
32-bit format and others use the 64-bit format provided that
the combination links correctly (that is, provided that there
are no link\dash time errors due to truncation or overflow). (An
implementation is not required to guarantee detection and
reporting of all such errors.)

\textit{It is expected that DWARF producing compilers will \emph{not} use
the 64-bit format \emph{by default}. In most cases, the division of
even very large applications into a number of executable and
shared object files will suffice to assure that the DWARF sections
within each individual linked object are less than 4 GBytes
in size. However, for those cases where needed, the 64-bit
format allows the unusual case to be handled as well. Even
in this case, it is expected that only application supplied
objects will need to be compiled using the 64-bit format;
separate 32-bit format versions of system supplied shared
executable libraries can still be used.}


\section{Format of Debugging Information}
\label{datarep:formatofdebugginginformation}

For each compilation unit compiled with a DWARF producer,
a contribution is made to the \dotdebuginfo{} section of
the object file. Each such contribution consists of a
compilation unit header 
(see Section \refersec{datarep:compilationunitheader}) 
followed by a
single \DWTAGcompileunit{} or 
\DWTAGpartialunit{} debugging
information entry, together with its children.

For each type defined in a compilation unit, a separate
contribution may also be made to the 
\dotdebuginfo{} 
section of the object file. Each
such contribution consists of a 
\addtoindex{type unit} header 
(see Section \refersec{datarep:typeunitheaders}) 
followed by a \DWTAGtypeunit{} entry, together with
its children.

Each debugging information entry begins with a code that
represents an entry in a separate 
\addtoindex{abbreviations table}. This
code is followed directly by a series of attribute values.

The appropriate entry in the 
\addtoindex{abbreviations table} guides the
interpretation of the information contained directly in the
\dotdebuginfo{} section.

\needlines{4}
Multiple debugging information entries may share the same
abbreviation table entry. Each compilation unit is associated
with a particular abbreviation table, but multiple compilation
units may share the same table.

\subsection{Unit Headers}
\label{datarep:unitheaders}
Unit headers contain a field, \addttindex{unit\_type}, whose value indicates the kind of
compilation unit that follows. The encodings for the unit type 
enumeration are shown in Table \refersec{tab:unitheaderunitkindencodings}.

\addttindexx{unit\_length}
A 4-byte or 12-byte unsigned integer 
\addtoindexx{initial length}
representing the length
of the \dotdebuginfo{} contribution for that type unit,
not including the length field itself. In the \thirtytwobitdwarfformat,

DWARF information for the type unit.
 
The value in this field is \versiondotdebuginfo.

\item \texttt{unit\_type} (\HFTubyte) \\
\addttindexx{unit\_type}
A 1-byte unsigned integer identifying this unit as a type unit.
The value of this field is \DWUTtype{} for a non-split type unit

\needlines{6}
\item \HFNdebugabbrevoffset{} (\livelink{datarep:sectionoffsetlength}{section offset}) \\
A 
\addtoindexx{section offset!in .debug\_info header}
4-byte or 8-byte unsigned offset into the 
\dotdebugabbrev{}
section. This offset associates the type unit with a
particular set of debugging information entry abbreviations. In
the \thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this is a 4-byte unsigned length;
in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat, this is an 8-byte unsigned length
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\item \texttt{type\_signature} (8-byte unsigned integer) \\
\addttindexx{type\_signature}
\addtoindexx{type signature}
A unique 8-byte signature (see Section 
\refersec{datarep:typesignaturecomputation})
of the type described in this type
unit.  

\textit{An attribute that refers (using 
\DWFORMrefsigeight{}) to
the primary type contained in this 
\addtoindex{type unit} uses this value.}

\needlines{8}
\item \texttt{type\_offset} (\livelink{datarep:sectionoffsetlength}{section offset}) \\
\addttindexx{type\_offset}
A 4-byte or 8-byte unsigned offset 
\addtoindexx{section offset!in .debug\_info header}
relative to the beginning
of the \addtoindex{type unit} header.
This offset refers to the debugging
information entry that describes the type. Because the type
may be nested inside a namespace or other structures, and may
contain references to other types that have not been placed in
separate type units, it is not necessarily either the first or
the only entry in the type unit. In the \thirtytwobitdwarfformat,
this is a 4-byte unsigned length; in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat,
this is an 8-byte unsigned length
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Debugging Information Entry}
\label{datarep:debugginginformationentry}

Each debugging information entry begins with an 
unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned}
number containing the abbreviation code for the entry. This
code represents an entry within the abbreviations table
associated with the compilation unit containing this entry. The
abbreviation code is followed by a series of attribute values.

On some architectures, there are alignment constraints on
section boundaries. To make it easier to pad debugging
information sections to satisfy such constraints, the
abbreviation code 0 is reserved. Debugging information entries
consisting of only the abbreviation code 0 are considered
null entries.

\subsection{Abbreviations Tables}
\label{datarep:abbreviationstables}

The abbreviations tables for all compilation units
are contained in a separate object file section called
\dotdebugabbrev{}.
As mentioned before, multiple compilation
units may share the same abbreviations table.

The abbreviations table for a single compilation unit consists
of a series of abbreviation declarations. Each declaration
specifies the tag and attributes for a particular form of
debugging information entry. Each declaration begins with
an unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned}
number representing the abbreviation
code itself. It is this code that appears at the beginning
of a debugging information entry in the 
\dotdebuginfo{}
section. As described above, the abbreviation
code 0 is reserved for null debugging information entries. The
abbreviation code is followed by another unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned}
number that encodes the entry\textquoteright s tag. The encodings for the
tag names are given in 
Table \refersec{tab:tagencodings}.

Following the tag encoding is a 1-byte value that determines
whether a debugging information entry using this abbreviation
has child entries or not. If the value is 
\DWCHILDRENyesTARG,
the next physically succeeding entry of any debugging
information entry using this abbreviation is the first
child of that entry. If the 1-byte value following the
abbreviation\textquoteright s tag encoding is 
\DWCHILDRENnoTARG, the next
physically succeeding entry of any debugging information entry
using this abbreviation is a sibling of that entry. (Either
the first child or sibling entries may be null entries). The
encodings for the child determination byte are given in 
Table \refersec{tab:childdeterminationencodings}
(As mentioned in 
Section \refersec{chap:relationshipofdebugginginformationentries}, 
each chain of sibling entries is terminated by a null entry.)

Finally, the child encoding is followed by a series of
attribute specifications. Each attribute specification
consists of two parts. The first part is an 
unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned}
number representing the attribute\textquoteright s name. 
The second part is an 
unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned} 
number representing the attribute\textquoteright s form. 
The series of attribute specifications ends with an
entry containing 0 for the name and 0 for the form.

\needlines{4}
The attribute form 
\DWFORMindirectTARG{} is a special case. For
attributes with this form, the attribute value itself in the
\dotdebuginfo{}
section begins with an unsigned
LEB128 number that represents its form. This allows producers
to choose forms for particular attributes 
\addtoindexx{abbreviations table!dynamic forms in}
dynamically,
without having to add a new entry to the abbreviations table.

The attribute form \DWFORMimplicitconstTARG{} is another special case.
For attributes with this form, the attribute specification contains 
a third part, which is a signed LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!signed} 
number. The value of this number is used as the value of the 
attribute, and no value is stored in the \dotdebuginfo{} section.

The abbreviations for a given compilation unit end with an
entry consisting of a 0 byte for the abbreviation code.

\textit{See 
Appendix \refersec{app:compilationunitsandabbreviationstableexample} 
for a depiction of the organization of the
debugging information.}

\subsection{Classes and Forms}
\eb
\label{datarep:classesandforms}
\bb
Each class is a set of forms which have related representations
and which are given a common interpretation according to the
attribute in which the form is used.
The attribute form governs how the value of an attribute is
encoded. 
The classes and the forms they include are listed below. 
\eb

Form \DWFORMsecoffsetTARG{} 
is a member of more than one class, namely 
\CLASSaddrptr,
\CLASSlineptr,
\bb 
\CLASSloclist, \CLASSloclistsptr, 
\eb
\CLASSmacptr,
\bb
\CLASSrnglist{}, \CLASSrnglistsptr, 
\eb
and
\CLASSstroffsetsptr;
\bb
as a result, it is not possible for an
attribute to allow more than one of these classes.
\eb
The list of classes allowed by the applicable attribute in 
Table \refersec{tab:attributeencodings}
determines the class of the form.

\needlines{4}
In the form descriptions that follow, some forms are said
to depend in part on the value of an attribute of the
\definition{\associatedcompilationunit}:
\begin{itemize}
\item
In the case of a \splitDWARFobjectfile{}, the associated
compilation unit is the skeleton compilation unit corresponding 
to the containing unit.
\item Otherwise, the associated compilation unit 
is the containing unit.
\end{itemize}

\needlines{4}
Each possible form belongs to one or more of the following classes
(see Table \refersec{tab:classesofattributevalue} for a summary of
the purpose and general usage of each class):

\begin{itemize}

\item \CLASSaddress \\
\livetarg{datarep:classaddress}{}
Represented as either:
\begin{itemize}
\item An object of appropriate size to hold an
address on the target machine (\DWFORMaddrTARG). 
The size is encoded in the compilation unit header 
(see Section \refersec{datarep:compilationunitheader}).
This address is relocatable in a relocatable object file and
is relocated in an executable file or shared object file.

\item An indirect index into a table of addresses (as 
described in the previous bullet) in the
\dotdebugaddr{} section (\DWFORMaddrxTARG). 
The representation of a \DWFORMaddrxNAME{} value is an unsigned
\addtoindex{LEB128} value, which is interpreted as a zero-based 
index into an array of addresses in the \dotdebugaddr{} section.
The index is relative to the value of the \DWATaddrbase{} attribute 
of the associated compilation unit.

\end{itemize}

\needlines{5}
\item \CLASSaddrptr \\
\livetarg{datarep:classaddrptr}{}
This is an offset into the \dotdebugaddr{} section (\DWFORMsecoffset). It
consists of an offset from the beginning of the \dotdebugaddr{} section to the
beginning of the list of machine addresses information for the
referencing entity. It is relocatable in
a relocatable object file, and relocated in an executable or
shared object file. In the \thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this offset
is a 4-byte unsigned value; in the 64-bit DWARF
format, it is an 8-byte unsigned value (see Section
\refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\textit{This class is new in \DWARFVersionV.}

\needlines{4}
\item \CLASSblock \\
\livetarg{datarep:classblock}{}
Blocks come in four forms:
\begin{itemize}
\item
A 1-byte length followed by 0 to 255 contiguous information
bytes (\DWFORMblockoneTARG).

\item
A 2-byte length followed by 0 to 65,535 contiguous information
bytes (\DWFORMblocktwoTARG).

\item
A 4-byte length followed by 0 to 4,294,967,295 contiguous
information bytes (\DWFORMblockfourTARG).

\item
An unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned}
length followed by the number of bytes
specified by the length (\DWFORMblockTARG).
\end{itemize}

In all forms, the length is the number of information bytes
that follow. The information bytes may contain any mixture
of relocated (or relocatable) addresses, references to other
debugging information entries or data bytes.

\item \CLASSconstant \\
\livetarg{datarep:classconstant}{}
There are eight forms of constants. There are fixed length
constant data forms for one-, two-, four-, eight- and sixteen-byte values
(respectively, 
\DWFORMdataoneTARG, 
\DWFORMdatatwoTARG, 
\DWFORMdatafourTARG,
\DWFORMdataeightTARG{} and
\DWFORMdatasixteenTARG). 
There are variable length constant
data forms encoded using 
signed LEB128 numbers (\DWFORMsdataTARG) and unsigned 
LEB128 numbers (\DWFORMudataTARG).
There is also an implicit constant (\DWFORMimplicitconst),
whose value is provided as part of the abbreviation
declaration.

\needlines{4}
The data in \DWFORMdataone, 
\DWFORMdatatwo, 
\DWFORMdatafour{}, 
\DWFORMdataeight{} and
\DWFORMdatasixteen{} 
can be anything. Depending on context, it may
be a signed integer, an unsigned integer, a floating\dash point
constant, or anything else. A consumer must use context to
know how to interpret the bits, which if they are target
machine data (such as an integer or floating-point constant)
will be in target machine \byteorder.

\textit{If one of the \DWFORMdataTARG\textless n\textgreater 
forms is used to represent a
signed or unsigned integer, it can be hard for a consumer
to discover the context necessary to determine which
interpretation is intended. Producers are therefore strongly
encouraged to use \DWFORMsdata{} or 
\DWFORMudata{} for signed and
unsigned integers respectively, rather than 
\DWFORMdata\textless n\textgreater.}

\needlines{4}
\item \CLASSexprloc \\
\livetarg{datarep:classexprloc}{}
This is an unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned} length 
followed by the number of information bytes specified by the 
length (\DWFORMexprlocTARG). 
The information bytes contain a DWARF expression 
(see Section \refersec{chap:dwarfexpressions}) 
or location description 
(see Section \refersec{chap:locationdescriptions}).

\needlines{4}
\item \CLASSflag \\
\livetarg{datarep:classflag}{}
A flag \addtoindexx{flag class}
is represented explicitly as a single byte of data
(\DWFORMflagTARG) or implicitly (\DWFORMflagpresentTARG). In the
first case, if the \nolink{flag} has value zero, it indicates the
absence of the attribute; if the \nolink{flag} has a non-zero value,
it indicates the presence of the attribute. In the second
case, the attribute is implicitly indicated as present, and
no value is encoded in the debugging information entry itself.

\needlines{4}
\item \CLASSlineptr \\
\livetarg{datarep:classlineptr}{}
This is an offset into 
\addtoindexx{section offset!in class lineptr value}
the 
\dotdebugline{} or \dotdebuglinedwo{} section
(\DWFORMsecoffset).
It consists of an offset from the beginning of the 
\dotdebugline{}
section to the first byte of
the data making up the line number list for the compilation
unit. 
It is relocatable in a relocatable object file, and
relocated in an executable or shared object file. In the 
\thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this offset is a 4-byte unsigned value;
in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat, it is an 8-byte unsigned value
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\bb
\item \CLASSloclist \\
\livetarg{datarep:classloclist}{}
This is represented as either:
\begin{itemize}
\item
An index into the \dotdebugloclists{} section (\DWFORMloclistxTARG). 
The unsigned ULEB operand identifies an offset location 
relative to the base of that section (the location of the first offset 
in the section, not the first byte of the section). The contents of 
that location is then added to the base to determine the location of 
the target list of entries.
\item
An offset into the \dotdebugloclists{} section (\DWFORMsecoffset). 
The operand consists of a byte 
offset\addtoindexx{section offset!in class loclist value}
from the beginning of the \dotdebugloclists{} section.
It is relocatable in a relocatable object file, and
relocated in an executable or shared object file. In the 
\thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this offset is a 4-byte unsigned value;
in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat, it is an 8-byte unsigned value
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).
\end{itemize}

\textit{This class is new in \DWARFVersionV.}
\eb

\item \CLASSloclistsptr \\
\livetarg{datarep:classloclistsptr}{}
This is an offset into the \dotdebugloclists{} section (\DWFORMsecoffset). 
The operand consists of a byte 
offset\addtoindexx{section offset!in class loclistsptr}
from the beginning of the \dotdebugloclists{} section.
\bbeb
It is relocatable in a relocatable object file, and
relocated in an executable or shared object file. In the 
\thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this offset is a 4-byte unsigned value;
in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat, it is an 8-byte unsigned value
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\bb
\textit{This class is new in \DWARFVersionV.}
\eb

\item \CLASSmacptr \\
\livetarg{datarep:classmacptr}{}
This is an 
\addtoindexx{section offset!in class macptr value}
offset into the 
\dotdebugmacro{} or \dotdebugmacrodwo{} section
(\DWFORMsecoffset). 
It consists of an offset from the beginning of the 
\dotdebugmacro{} or \dotdebugmacrodwo{} 
section to the the header making up the 
macro information list for the compilation unit. 
It is relocatable in a relocatable object file, and
relocated in an executable or shared object file. In the 
\thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this offset is a 4-byte unsigned value;
in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat, it is an 8-byte unsigned value
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\bb
\item \CLASSrnglist \\
\livetarg{datarep:classrnglist}{}
This is represented as either:
\begin{itemize}
\item
An index into the \dotdebugrnglists{} section (\DWFORMrnglistxTARG). 
The unsigned ULEB operand identifies an offset location 
relative to the base of that section (the location of the first offset 
in the section, not the first byte of the section). The contents of 
that location is then added to the base to determine the location of 
the target range list of entries.
\item
An offset into the \dotdebugloclists{} section (\DWFORMsecoffset). 
The operand consists of a byte 
offset\addtoindexx{section offset!in class loclist value}
from the beginning of the \dotdebugloclists{} section.
It is relocatable in a relocatable object file, and
relocated in an executable or shared object file. In the 
\thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this offset is a 4-byte unsigned value;
in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat, it is an 8-byte unsigned value
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).
\end{itemize}

\textit{This class is new in \DWARFVersionV.}
\eb

\needlines{4}
\item \CLASSrnglistsptr \\
\livetarg{datarep:classrnglistsptr}{}
This is an offset\addtoindexx{section offset!in class rnglistsptr}
into the \dotdebugrnglists{} section (\DWFORMsecoffset). 
It consists of a byte offset from the beginning of the 
\dotdebugrnglists{} section.
It is relocatable in a relocatable object file, and relocated 
in an executable or shared object file.
\bbeb 
In the \thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this offset
is a 4-byte unsigned value; in the 64-bit DWARF
format, it is an 8-byte unsigned value (see Section
\refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\bb
\textit{This class is new in \DWARFVersionV.}
\eb

\bbpareb

\needlines{4}
\item \CLASSreference \\
\livetarg{datarep:classreference}{}
There are four types of reference.\addtoindexx{reference class}
\begin{itemize}
\item
The first type of reference can identify any debugging
information entry within the containing unit. 
This type of reference is an 
offset\addtoindexx{section offset!in class reference value}
from the first byte of the compilation
header for the compilation unit containing the reference. There
are five forms for this type of reference. There are fixed
length forms for one, two, four and eight byte offsets
(respectively,
\DWFORMrefnMARK 
\DWFORMrefoneTARG, 
\DWFORMreftwoTARG, 
\DWFORMreffourTARG,
and \DWFORMrefeightTARG). 
There is also an unsigned variable
length offset encoded form that uses 
unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned} numbers
(\DWFORMrefudataTARG). 
Because this type of reference is within
the containing compilation unit no relocation of the value
is required.

\item
The second type of reference can identify any debugging
information entry within a 
\dotdebuginfo{} section; in particular,
it may refer to an entry in a different compilation unit
from the unit containing the reference, and may refer to an
entry in a different shared object file.  This type of reference
(\DWFORMrefaddrTARG) 
is an offset from the beginning of the
\dotdebuginfo{} 
section of the target executable or shared object file, or, for
references within a \addtoindex{supplementary object file}, 
an offset from the beginning of the local \dotdebuginfo{} section;
it is relocatable in a relocatable object file and frequently
relocated in an executable or shared object file. For
references from one shared object or static executable file
to another, the relocation and identification of the target
object must be performed by the consumer. In the 
\thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this offset is a 4-byte unsigned value; 
in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat, it is an 8-byte
unsigned value 
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\textit{A debugging information entry that may be referenced by
another compilation unit using 
\DWFORMrefaddr{} must have a global symbolic name.}

\textit{For a reference from one executable or shared object file to
another, the reference is resolved by the debugger to identify
the executable or shared object file and the offset into that
file\textquoteright s \dotdebuginfo{}
section in the same fashion as the run
time loader, either when the debug information is first read,
or when the reference is used.}

\item
The third type of reference can identify any debugging
information type entry that has been placed in its own
\addtoindex{type unit}. This type of 
reference (\DWFORMrefsigeightTARG) is the
\addtoindexx{type signature}
8-byte type signature 
(see Section \refersec{datarep:typesignaturecomputation}) 
that was computed for the type. 

\item
The fourth type of reference is a reference from within the 
\dotdebuginfo{} section of the executable or shared object file to
a debugging information entry in the \dotdebuginfo{} section of 
a \addtoindex{supplementary object file}.
This type of reference (\DWFORMrefsupTARG) is an offset from the 
beginning of the \dotdebuginfo{} section in the 
\addtoindex{supplementary object file}.

\textit{The use of compilation unit relative references will reduce the
number of link\dash time relocations and so speed up linking. The
use of the second, third and fourth type of reference allows for the
sharing of information, such as types, across compilation
units, while the fourth type further allows for sharing of information 
across compilation units from different executables or shared object files.}

\textit{A reference to any kind of compilation unit identifies the
debugging information entry for that unit, not the preceding
header.}
\end{itemize}

\needlines{4}
\item \CLASSstring \\
\livetarg{datarep:classstring}{}
A string is a sequence of contiguous non\dash null bytes followed by
one null byte. 
\addtoindexx{string class}
A string may be represented: 
\begin{itemize}
\setlength{\itemsep}{0em}
\item immediately in the debugging information entry itself 
(\DWFORMstringTARG), 

\item as an 
\addtoindexx{section offset!in class string value}
offset into a string table contained in
the \dotdebugstr{} section of the object file (\DWFORMstrpTARG), 
the \dotdebuglinestr{} section of the object file (\DWFORMlinestrpTARG),
or as an offset into a string table contained in the
\dotdebugstr{} section of a \addtoindex{supplementary object file} 
(\DWFORMstrpsupTARG).  \DWFORMstrpsupNAME{} offsets from the \dotdebuginfo{}  
section of a \addtoindex{supplementary object file}
refer to the local \dotdebugstr{} section of that same file.
In the \thirtytwobitdwarfformat, the representation of a 
\DWFORMstrpNAME{}, \DWFORMstrpNAME{} or \DWFORMstrpsupNAME{}
value is a 4-byte unsigned offset; in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat,
it is an 8-byte unsigned offset 
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\needlines{6}
\item as an indirect offset into the string table using an 
index into a table of offsets contained in the 
\dotdebugstroffsets{} section of the object file (\DWFORMstrxTARG).
The representation of a \DWFORMstrxNAME{} value is an unsigned 
\addtoindex{LEB128} value, which is interpreted as a zero-based 
index into an array of offsets in the \dotdebugstroffsets{} section. 
The offset entries in the \dotdebugstroffsets{} section have the 
same representation as \DWFORMstrp{} values.
\end{itemize}
Any combination of these three forms may be used within a single compilation.

If the \DWATuseUTFeight{}
\addtoindexx{use UTF8 attribute}\addtoindexx{UTF-8} attribute is specified for the
compilation, partial, skeleton or type unit entry, string values are encoded using the
UTF\dash 8 (\addtoindex{Unicode} Transformation Format\dash 8) from the Universal
Character Set standard (ISO/IEC 10646\dash 1:1993).
\addtoindexx{ISO 10646 character set standard}
Otherwise, the string representation is unspecified.

\textit{The \addtoindex{Unicode} Standard Version 3 is fully compatible with
ISO/IEC 10646\dash 1:1993. 
\addtoindexx{ISO 10646 character set standard}
It contains all the same characters
and encoding points as ISO/IEC 10646, as well as additional
information about the characters and their use.}

\textit{Earlier versions of DWARF did not specify the representation
of strings; for compatibility, this version also does
not. However, the UTF\dash 8 representation is strongly recommended.}

\needlines{4}
\item \CLASSstroffsetsptr \\
\livetarg{datarep:classstroffsetsptr}{}
This is an offset into the \dotdebugstroffsets{} section 
(\DWFORMsecoffset). It consists of an offset from the beginning of the 
\dotdebugstroffsets{} section to the
beginning of the string offsets information for the
referencing entity. It is relocatable in
a relocatable object file, and relocated in an executable or
shared object file. In the \thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this offset
is a 4-byte unsigned value; in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat,
it is an 8-byte unsigned value (see Section
\refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\textit{This class is new in \DWARFVersionV.}

\end{itemize}

In no case does an attribute use one of the classes 
\CLASSaddrptr,
\CLASSlineptr,
\CLASSloclistsptr, 
\CLASSmacptr, 
\CLASSrnglistsptr{} or 
\CLASSstroffsetsptr{}
to point into either the
\dotdebuginfo{} or \dotdebugstr{} section.

\section{Variable Length Data}
\label{datarep:variablelengthdata}
\addtoindexx{variable length data|see {LEB128}}
Integers may be 
\addtoindexx{Little-Endian Base 128|see{LEB128}}
encoded using \doublequote{Little-Endian Base 128}
\addtoindexx{little-endian encoding|see{endian attribute}}
(LEB128) numbers. 
\addtoindexx{LEB128}
LEB128 is a scheme for encoding integers
densely that exploits the assumption that most integers are
small in magnitude.

\textit{This encoding is equally suitable whether the target machine
architecture represents data in big-endian or little-endian
\byteorder. It is \doublequote{little-endian} only in the sense that it
avoids using space to represent the \doublequote{big} end of an
unsigned integer, when the big end is all zeroes or sign
extension bits.}

Unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned} (\addtoindex{ULEB128}) 
numbers are encoded as follows:
\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned, encoding as}
start at the low order end of an unsigned integer and chop
it into 7-bit chunks. Place each chunk into the low order 7
bits of a byte. Typically, several of the high order bytes
will be zero; discard them. Emit the remaining bytes in a
stream, starting with the low order byte; set the high order
bit on each byte except the last emitted byte. The high bit
of zero on the last byte indicates to the decoder that it
has encountered the last byte.

The integer zero is a special case, consisting of a single
zero byte.

Table \refersec{tab:examplesofunsignedleb128encodings}
gives some examples of unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned}
numbers. The
0x80 in each case is the high order bit of the byte, indicating
that an additional byte follows.


The encoding for signed, two\textquoteright{s} complement LEB128 
(\addtoindex{SLEB128}) \addtoindexx{LEB128!signed, encoding as}
numbers is similar, except that the criterion for discarding
high order bytes is not whether they are zero, but whether
they consist entirely of sign extension bits. Consider the
4-byte integer -2. The three high level bytes of the number
are sign extension, thus LEB128 would represent it as a single
byte containing the low order 7 bits, with the high order
bit cleared to indicate the end of the byte stream. Note
that there is nothing within the LEB128 representation that
indicates whether an encoded number is signed or unsigned. The
decoder must know what type of number to expect. 
Table \refersec{tab:examplesofunsignedleb128encodings}
gives some examples of unsigned LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!unsigned}
numbers and Table \refersec{tab:examplesofsignedleb128encodings}
gives some examples of signed LEB128\addtoindexx{LEB128!signed} 
numbers.

\textit{Appendix \refersec{app:variablelengthdataencodingdecodinginformative} 
\addtoindexx{LEB128!examples}
gives algorithms for encoding and decoding these forms.}

\subsection{DWARF Expressions}
\label{datarep:dwarfexpressions}

A 
\addtoindexx{DWARF expression!operator encoding}
DWARF expression is stored in a \nolink{block} of contiguous
bytes. The bytes form a sequence of operations. Each operation
is a 1-byte code that identifies that operation, followed by
zero or more bytes of additional data. The encodings for the
operations are described in 
Table \refersec{tab:dwarfoperationencodings}.

\subsection{Location Descriptions}
\label{datarep:locationdescriptions}

A location description is used to compute the 
location of a variable or other entity.

\subsection{Location Lists}
\label{datarep:locationlists}
Each entry in a \addtoindex{location list} is either a location list entry,
a base address 
\bb
entry, a default location entry or an

\section{Address Range Table}
\label{datarep:addrssrangetable}

Each set of entries in the table of address ranges contained
in the \dotdebugaranges{}
section begins with a header containing:
\begin{enumerate}[1. ]
% FIXME The unit length text is not fully consistent across
% these tables.

\item \texttt{unit\_length} (\livelink{datarep:initiallengthvalues}{initial length}) \\
\addttindexx{unit\_length}
A 4-byte or 12-byte length containing the length of the
\addtoindexx{initial length}
set of entries for this compilation unit, not including the
length field itself. In the \thirtytwobitdwarfformat, this is a
4-byte unsigned integer (which must be less than \xfffffffzero);
in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat, this consists of the 4-byte value
\wffffffff followed by an 8-byte unsigned integer that gives
the actual length 
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\item version (\HFTuhalf) \\
A 2-byte version identifier representing the version of the
DWARF information for the address range table.

This value in this field \addtoindexx{version number!address range table} is 2. 
 
\item debug\_info\_offset (\livelink{datarep:sectionoffsetlength}{section offset}) \\
A 
\addtoindexx{section offset!in .debug\_aranges header}
4-byte or 8-byte offset into the 
\dotdebuginfo{} section of
the compilation unit header. In the \thirtytwobitdwarfformat,
this is a 4-byte unsigned offset; in the \sixtyfourbitdwarfformat,
this is an 8-byte unsigned offset 
(see Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\item \texttt{address\_size} (\HFTubyte) \\
A 1-byte unsigned integer containing the size in bytes of an
\addttindexx{address\_size}
address 
\addtoindexx{size of an address}
(or the offset portion of an address for segmented
\addtoindexx{address space!segmented}
addressing) on the target system.

\item \HFNsegmentselectorsize{} (\HFTubyte) \\
A 1-byte unsigned integer containing the size in bytes of a
segment selector on the target system.

\end{enumerate}

This header is followed by a series of tuples. Each tuple
consists of a segment, an address and a length. 
The segment selector
size is given by the \HFNsegmentselectorsize{} field of the header; the
address and length size are each given by the \addttindex{address\_size}
field of the header. 
The first tuple following the header in
each set begins at an offset that is a multiple of the size
of a single tuple (that is, the size of a segment selector
plus twice the \addtoindex{size of an address}). 
The header is padded, if
necessary, to that boundary. Each set of tuples is terminated
by a 0 for the segment, a 0 for the address and 0 for the
length. If the \HFNsegmentselectorsize{} field in the header is zero,
the segment selectors are omitted from all tuples, including
the terminating tuple.


\section{Line Number Information}
\label{datarep:linenumberinformation}

The \addtoindexi{version number}{version number!line number information}

A 4-byte or 12-byte length containing the length of
the set of entries for this compilation unit, not
including the length field itself. In the 32-bit
DWARF format, this is a 4-byte unsigned integer
(which must be less than \xfffffffzero); in the 64-bit
DWARF format, this consists of the 4-byte value
\wffffffff followed by an 8-byte unsigned integer
that gives the actual length (see 
Section \refersec{datarep:32bitand64bitdwarfformats}).

\item \textit{padding} (\HFTuhalf) \\
Reserved to DWARF (must be zero).
\end{enumerate}

This header is followed by a series of string table offsets
that have the same representation as \DWFORMstrp.
For the 32-bit DWARF format, each offset is 4 bytes long; for
the 64-bit DWARF format, each offset is 8 bytes long.

The \DWATstroffsetsbase{} attribute points to the first
entry following the header. The entries are indexed
sequentially from this base entry, starting from 0.

This header is followed by a series of segment/address pairs.
The segment size is given by the \HFNsegmentselectorsize{} field of the
header, and the address size is given by the \addttindex{address\_size}
field of the header. If the \HFNsegmentselectorsize{} field in the header
is zero, the entries consist only of an addresses.
