58.Sh DESCRIPTION
59Function
60.Fn dwarf_add_arange_b
61adds an address range entry to a producer instance.
62.Pp
63Argument
64.Ar dbg
65should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using
66.Xr dwarf_producer_init 3
67or
68.Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .
69.Pp
70Argument
71.Ar start
72specifies the relocatable start address of the address range.
73.Pp
74Argument
75.Ar length
76specifies the length of the address range.
77.Pp
78Argument
79.Ar symbol_index
80specifies the ELF symbol index of the first symbol to be used for
81relocation.
82.Pp
83Argument
84.Ar end_symbol_index
85specifies the ELF symbol index of the second symbol to be used for
86relocation.
87.Bl -bullet
88.It
89If argument
90.Ar end_symbol_index
91is not 0, the
92.Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS
93flag should have been set on the DWARF producer instance.
94The address value specified by argument
95.Ar start
96will be treated as an offset value from the first symbol,
97and the argument
98.Ar offset_from_end_symbol
99should hold an offset value from the second symbol.
100Application code can retrieve the relocation entries for the
101symbol pair by calling function
102.Xr dwarf_get_relocation_info 3 .
103The relocation entry for the first symbol will have type
104.Dv dwarf_drt_first_of_length_pair
105and the relocation entry for the second symbol will have type
106.Dv dwarf_drt_second_of_length_pair .
107.It
108If argument
109.Ar end_symbol_index
110is 0, argument
111.Ar offset_from_end_symbol
112will be ignored and only one symbol is used for relocation.
113.El
114.Pp
115If argument
116.Ar err
117is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case
118of an error.
119.Pp
120Function
121.Fn dwarf_add_arange
122is deprecated.
123It is similar to function
124.Fn dwarf_add_arange_b
125except that it cannot handle all possible symbol index values
126and supports only one relocation symbol.
127.Sh RETURN VALUES
128On success, these functions return a non-zero value.
129In case of an error, these functions return 0 and set
130the argument
131.Ar err .
132.Sh ERRORS
133These functions can fail with:
134.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
135.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
136Argument
137.Ar dbg
138was NULL.
139.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
140Argument
141.Ar end_symbol_index
142was non-zero, but the flag
143.Dv DW_DLC_SYMBOLIC_RELOCATIONS
144was not set on the producer instance.
145.It Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY
146An out of memory condition was encountered during the execution of the
147function.
