48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49Function
50.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
51creates a
52.Sq reference
53class attribute descriptor containing a relocatable address value.
54The created attribute will use DWARF form
55.Dv DW_FORM_ref_addr .
56.Pp
57Argument
58.Ar dbg
59should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
60.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
61or
62.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
63.Pp
64Argument
65.Ar die
66should reference a debugging information entry allocated using
67.Xr dwarf_new_die 3 .
68.Pp
69Argument
70.Ar attr
71specifies the attribute code of the created attribute.
72.Pp
73Argument
74.Ar pc_value
75contains a relocatable address which will become the value of the
76created attribute.
77.Pp
78Argument
79.Ar sym_index
80should specify the ELF symbol index of the symbol to be used when
81relocating the address value.
82.Pp
83If argument
84.Ar err
85is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
86of an error.
87.Sh RETURN VALUES
88On success, function
89.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
90returns the created attribute descriptor.
91In case of an error, function
92.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
93returns
94.Dv DW_DLV_BADADDR
95and sets the argument
96.Ar err .
97.Sh ERRORS
98Function
99.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
100can fail with:
101.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
102.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
103Either of the arguments
104.Ar dbg
105or
106.Ar die
107was NULL.
108.It Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY
109An out of memory condition was encountered during execution.
