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.Fa 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.Fa die
66should reference a debugging information entry allocated using
67.Xr dwarf_new_die 3 .
68.Pp
69Argument
70.Fa attr
71specifies the attribute code of the created attribute.
72.Pp
73Argument
74.Fa pc_value
75contains a relocatable address which will become the value of the
76created attribute.
77.Pp
78Argument
79.Fa sym_index
80should specify the ELF symbol index of the symbol to be used when
81relocating the address value.
82.Pp
83If argument
84.Fa err
85is not
86.Dv NULL ,
87it will be used to store error information in case of an error.
88.Sh RETURN VALUES
89On success, function
90.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
91returns the created attribute descriptor.
92In case of an error, function
93.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
94returns
95.Dv DW_DLV_BADADDR
96and sets the argument
97.Fa err .
98.Sh ERRORS
99Function
100.Fn dwarf_add_AT_ref_address
101can fail with:
102.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
103.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
104Either of the arguments
