libdw: Add new function dwarf_getlocations.
Using dwarf_getlocation it is possible to get single location descriptions and with dwarf_getlocation_addr it is possible to get a location list covering a specific address. But sometimes it is more convenient to get all ranges covered by a location list. For example when a specific address isn't covered and you want to find alternative addresses where a location description is defined. dwarf_getlocations is modelled after dwarf_ranges. It enumerates the location ranges and descriptions covered by the given attribute. In the first call OFFSET should be zero and *BASEP need not be initialized. Returns -1 for errors, zero when there are no more locations to report, or a nonzero OFFSET value to pass to the next call. Each subsequent call must preserve *BASEP from the prior call. Successful calls fill in *STARTP and *ENDP with a contiguous address range and *EXPR with a pointer to an array of operations with length *EXPRLEN. If the attribute describes a single location description and not a location list the first call (with OFFSET zero) will return the location description in *EXPR with *STARTP set to zero and *ENDP set to minus one. ptrdiff_t dwarf_getlocations (Dwarf_Attribute *attr, ptrdiff_t offset, Dwarf_Addr *basep, Dwarf_Addr *startp, Dwarf_Addr *endp, Dwarf_Op **expr, size_t *exprlen); Signed-off-by: Mark Wielaard <[email protected]>
