int

Library

Overview

Function dwarf_hasattr() tests whether the debugging information entry referenced in argument die contains the attribute named by argument attr. Legal values for argument attr are those denoted by the DW_AT_* constants in the DWARF specification.

If the named attribute is present in the debugging information entry, function dwarf_hasattr() returns a non-zero value in the location pointed to by argument ret_bool. If the named attribute is not present, a zero is written instead.

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

Return values

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

Errors

Function dwarf_hasattr() can fail with the following error:

[DW_DLE_ARGUMENT]

Either of argument die or ret_bool was NULL.
