35.Sh LIBRARY
36.Lb libdwarf
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In libdwarf.h
39.Ft "int"
40.Fo dwarf_def_macro
41.Fa "Dwarf_P_Debug dbg"

47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48Function
49.Fn dwarf_def_macro
50adds a macro definition to a DWARF producer instance.
51.Pp
52Argument
53.Fa dbg
54should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
55.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
56or
57.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
58.Pp
59Argument
60.Fa lineno
61specifies the line number of the source line where the macro is
62defined.
63A line number of zero is used for macros that are defined
64before any source file is read.
65.Pp
66Argument
67.Fa name
68should point to a NUL-terminated string containing the name
69of the macro.
70For function-like macros this parameter should also include
71parentheses and parameter names if any.
72.Pp
73Argument
74.Fa value
75should point to a NUL-terminated string containing the value
76of the macro.
77If the macro does not have a value, argument
78.Fa value
79should be set to
80.Dv NULL .
81.Pp
82If argument
83.Fa err
84is not
85.Dv NULL ,
86it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
87.Sh RETURN VALUES
88On success, function
89.Fn dwarf_def_macro
90returns
91.Dv DW_DLV_OK .
92In case of an error, function
93.Fn dwarf_def_macro
94returns
95.Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
96and sets the argument
97.Fa err .
98.Sh EXAMPLES
99To record the fact that a macro named
100.Dv _STDIO_H_
101was defined at line 20 of the current macro file, use:
102.Bd -literal -offset indent
103Dwarf_P_Debug dbg;
104Dwarf_Error de;
105
106/* ... Assume 'dbg' refers to a DWARF producer instance... */
107if (dwarf_def_macro(dbg, 20, "_STDIO_H_", NULL, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
108	errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_def_macro failed: %s",
109	    dwarf_errmsg(-1));
110.Ed
111.Sh ERRORS
112Function
113.Fn dwarf_def_macro
114can fail with:
115.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
116.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
117Either arguments
118.Fa dbg
119or
120.Fa name
121was
122.Dv NULL .
123.It Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY
