type BasicType ¶
type BasicType struct {
CommonType
BitSize int64
BitOffset int64
}
A BasicType holds fields common to all basic types.
type Class ¶
type Class int
A Class is the DWARF 4 class of an attibute value.
In general, a given attribute's value may take on one of several possible classes defined by DWARF, each of which leads to a slightly different interpretation of the attribute.
DWARF version 4 distinguishes attribute value classes more finely than previous versions of DWARF. The reader will disambiguate coarser classes from earlier versions of DWARF into the appropriate DWARF 4 class. For example, DWARF 2 uses "constant" for constants as well as all types of section offsets, but the reader will canonicalize attributes in DWARF 2 files that refer to section offsets to one of the Class*Ptr classes, even though these classes were only defined in DWARF 3.
const ( // ClassAddress represents values of type uint64 that are // addresses on the target machine. ClassAddress Class = 1 + iota // ClassBlock represents values of type []byte whose // interpretation depends on the attribute. ClassBlock // ClassConstant represents values of type int64 that are // constants. The interpretation of this constant depends on // the attribute. ClassConstant // ClassExprLoc represents values of type []byte that contain // an encoded DWARF expression or location description. ClassExprLoc // ClassFlag represents values of type bool. ClassFlag // ClassLinePtr represents values that are an int64 offset // into the "line" section. ClassLinePtr // ClassLocListPtr represents values that are an int64 offset // into the "loclist" section. ClassLocListPtr // ClassMacPtr represents values that are an int64 offset into // the "mac" section. ClassMacPtr // ClassMacPtr represents values that are an int64 offset into // the "rangelist" section. ClassRangeListPtr // ClassReference represents values that are an Offset offset // of an Entry in the info section (for use with Reader.Seek). // The DWARF specification combines ClassReference and // ClassReferenceSig into class "reference". ClassReference // ClassReferenceSig represents values that are a uint64 type // signature referencing a type Entry. ClassReferenceSig // ClassString represents values that are strings. If the // compilation unit specifies the AttrUseUTF8 flag (strongly // recommended), the string value will be encoded in UTF-8. // Otherwise, the encoding is unspecified. ClassString // ClassReferenceAlt represents values of type int64 that are // an offset into the DWARF "info" section of an alternate // object file. ClassReferenceAlt // ClassStringAlt represents values of type int64 that are an // offset into the DWARF string section of an alternate object // file. ClassStringAlt )
type CommonType ¶
type CommonType struct {
ByteSize int64 // size of value of this type, in bytes
Name string // name that can be used to refer to type
}
A CommonType holds fields common to multiple types. If a field is not known or not applicable for a given type, the zero value is used.
func (*CommonType) Common ¶
func (c *CommonType) Common() *CommonType
func (*CommonType) Size ¶
func (c *CommonType) Size() int64
type ComplexType ¶
type ComplexType struct {
BasicType
}
A ComplexType represents a complex floating point type.
type Data ¶
type Data struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Data represents the DWARF debugging information loaded from an executable file (for example, an ELF or Mach-O executable).
func New ¶
New returns a new Data object initialized from the given parameters. Rather than calling this function directly, clients should typically use the DWARF method of the File type of the appropriate package debug/elf, debug/macho, or debug/pe.
The []byte arguments are the data from the corresponding debug section in the object file; for example, for an ELF object, abbrev is the contents of the ".debug_abbrev" section.
func (*Data) AddTypes ¶
AddTypes will add one .debug_types section to the DWARF data. A typical object with DWARF version 4 debug info will have multiple .debug_types sections. The name is used for error reporting only, and serves to distinguish one .debug_types section from another.
func (*Data) LineReader ¶
func (d *Data) LineReader(cu *Entry) (*LineReader, error)
LineReader returns a new reader for the line table of compilation unit cu, which must be an Entry with tag TagCompileUnit.
If this compilation unit has no line table, it returns nil, nil.
type DecodeError ¶
func (DecodeError) Error ¶
func (e DecodeError) Error() string
type DotDotDotType ¶
type DotDotDotType struct {
CommonType
}
A DotDotDotType represents the variadic ... function parameter.
func (*DotDotDotType) String ¶

type Entry ¶
type Entry struct {
Offset Offset // offset of Entry in DWARF info
Tag Tag // tag (kind of Entry)
Children bool // whether Entry is followed by children
Field []Field
}
An entry is a sequence of attribute/value pairs.
func (*Entry) AttrField ¶
AttrField returns the Field associated with attribute Attr in Entry, or nil if there is no such attribute.
type EnumType ¶
type EnumType struct {
CommonType
EnumName string
Val []*EnumValue
}
An EnumType represents an enumerated type. The only indication of its native integer type is its ByteSize (inside CommonType).
type Field ¶
A Field is a single attribute/value pair in an Entry.
A value can be one of several "attribute classes" defined by DWARF. The Go types corresponding to each class are:
DWARF class Go type Class ----------- ------- ----- address uint64 ClassAddress block []byte ClassBlock constant int64 ClassConstant flag bool ClassFlag reference to info dwarf.Offset ClassReference to type unit uint64 ClassReferenceSig string string ClassString exprloc []byte ClassExprLoc lineptr int64 ClassLinePtr loclistptr int64 ClassLocListPtr macptr int64 ClassMacPtr rangelistptr int64 ClassRangeListPtr
type FuncType ¶
type FuncType struct {
CommonType
ReturnType Type
ParamType []Type
}
A FuncType represents a function type.
type LineEntry ¶
type LineEntry struct {
// Address is the program-counter value of a machine
// instruction generated by the compiler. This LineEntry
// applies to each instruction from Address to just before the
// Address of the next LineEntry.
Address uint64
// OpIndex is the index of an operation within a VLIW
// instruction. The index of the first operation is 0. For
// non-VLIW architectures, it will always be 0. Address and
// OpIndex together form an operation pointer that can
// reference any individual operation within the instruction
// stream.
OpIndex int
// File is the source file corresponding to these
// instructions.
File *LineFile
// Line is the source code line number corresponding to these
// instructions. Lines are numbered beginning at 1. It may be
// 0 if these instructions cannot be attributed to any source
// line.
Line int
// Column is the column number within the source line of these
// instructions. Columns are numbered beginning at 1. It may
// be 0 to indicate the "left edge" of the line.
Column int
// IsStmt indicates that Address is a recommended breakpoint
// location, such as the beginning of a line, statement, or a
// distinct subpart of a statement.
IsStmt bool
// BasicBlock indicates that Address is the beginning of a
// basic block.
BasicBlock bool
// PrologueEnd indicates that Address is one (of possibly
// many) PCs where execution should be suspended for a
// breakpoint on entry to the containing function.
//
// Added in DWARF 3.
PrologueEnd bool
// EpilogueBegin indicates that Address is one (of possibly
// many) PCs where execution should be suspended for a
// breakpoint on exit from this function.
//
// Added in DWARF 3.
EpilogueBegin bool
// ISA is the instruction set architecture for these
// instructions. Possible ISA values should be defined by the
// applicable ABI specification.
//
// Added in DWARF 3.
ISA int
// Discriminator is an arbitrary integer indicating the block
// to which these instructions belong. It serves to
// distinguish among multiple blocks that may all have with
// the same source file, line, and column. Where only one
// block exists for a given source position, it should be 0.
//
// Added in DWARF 3.
Discriminator int
// EndSequence indicates that Address is the first byte after
// the end of a sequence of target machine instructions. If it
// is set, only this and the Address field are meaningful. A
// line number table may contain information for multiple
// potentially disjoint instruction sequences. The last entry
// in a line table should always have EndSequence set.
EndSequence bool
}
A LineEntry is a row in a DWARF line table.
type LineFile ¶
type LineFile struct {
Name string
Mtime uint64 // Implementation defined modification time, or 0 if unknown
Length int // File length, or 0 if unknown
}
A LineFile is a source file referenced by a DWARF line table entry.
type LineReader ¶
type LineReader struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A LineReader reads a sequence of LineEntry structures from a DWARF "line" section for a single compilation unit. LineEntries occur in order of increasing PC and each LineEntry gives metadata for the instructions from that LineEntry's PC to just before the next LineEntry's PC. The last entry will have its EndSequence field set.
func (*LineReader) Next ¶
func (r *LineReader) Next(entry *LineEntry) error
Next sets *entry to the next row in this line table and moves to the next row. If there are no more entries and the line table is properly terminated, it returns io.EOF.
Rows are always in order of increasing entry.Address, but entry.Line may go forward or backward.
func (*LineReader) Reset ¶
func (r *LineReader) Reset()
Reset repositions the line table reader at the beginning of the line table.
func (*LineReader) Seek ¶
func (r *LineReader) Seek(pos LineReaderPos)
Seek restores the line table reader to a position returned by Tell.
The argument pos must have been returned by a call to Tell on this line table.
func (*LineReader) SeekPC ¶
func (r *LineReader) SeekPC(pc uint64, entry *LineEntry) error
SeekPC sets *entry to the LineEntry that includes pc and positions the reader on the next entry in the line table. If necessary, this will seek backwards to find pc.
If pc is not covered by any entry in this line table, SeekPC returns ErrUnknownPC. In this case, *entry and the final seek position are unspecified.
Note that DWARF line tables only permit sequential, forward scans. Hence, in the worst case, this takes time linear in the size of the line table. If the caller wishes to do repeated fast PC lookups, it should build an appropriate index of the line table.
func (*LineReader) Tell ¶
func (r *LineReader) Tell() LineReaderPos
Tell returns the current position in the line table.
type LineReaderPos ¶
type LineReaderPos struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A LineReaderPos represents a position in a line table.
type Offset ¶
type Offset uint32

CommonType
Qual string
Type Type
}
A QualType represents a type that has the C/C++ "const", "restrict", or "volatile" qualifier.
type Reader ¶
type Reader struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Reader allows reading Entry structures from a DWARF “info” section. The Entry structures are arranged in a tree. The Reader's Next function return successive entries from a pre-order traversal of the tree. If an entry has children, its Children field will be true, and the children follow, terminated by an Entry with Tag 0.
func (*Reader) AddressSize ¶
AddressSize returns the size in bytes of addresses in the current compilation unit.
func (*Reader) Next ¶
Next reads the next entry from the encoded entry stream. It returns nil, nil when it reaches the end of the section. It returns an error if the current offset is invalid or the data at the offset cannot be decoded as a valid Entry.
func (*Reader) Seek ¶
Seek positions the Reader at offset off in the encoded entry stream. Offset 0 can be used to denote the first entry.
func (*Reader) SkipChildren ¶
func (r *Reader) SkipChildren()
SkipChildren skips over the child entries associated with the last Entry returned by Next. If that Entry did not have children or Next has not been called, SkipChildren is a no-op.
type StructField ¶
type StructField struct {
Name string
Type Type
ByteOffset int64
ByteSize int64
BitOffset int64 // within the ByteSize bytes at ByteOffset
BitSize int64 // zero if not a bit field
