/* REFERENCE (without which this code will not make much sense):

   DWARF Debugging Information Format, Version 3, 
   dated 20 December 2005 (the "D3 spec").

   Available at http://www.dwarfstd.org/Dwarf3.pdf.  There's also a
   .doc (MS Word) version, but for some reason the section numbers
   between the Word and PDF versions differ by 1 in the first digit.
   All section references in this code are to the PDF version.

   CURRENT HACKS:

   DW_TAG_{const,volatile}_type no DW_AT_type is allowed; it is
      assumed to mean "const void" or "volatile void" respectively.
      GDB appears to interpret them like this, anyway.

   In many cases it is important to know the svma of a CU (the "base
   address of the CU", as the D3 spec calls it).  There are some
   situations in which the spec implies this value is unknown, but the
   Dwarf3 produced by gcc-4.1 seems to assume is not unknown but
   merely zero when not explicitly stated.  So we too have to make
   that assumption.

   POTENTIAL BUG?  Spotted 6 Sept 08.  Why doesn't
   unitary_range_list() bias the resulting range list in the same way
   that its more general cousin, get_range_list(), does?  I don't
   know.

   TODO, 2008 Feb 17:

   get rid of cu_svma_known and document the assumed-zero svma hack.

   ML_(sizeOfType): differentiate between zero sized types and types
   for which the size is unknown.  Is this important?  I don't know.

   DW_TAG_array_types: deal with explicit sizes (currently we compute
   the size from the bounds and the element size, although that's
   fragile, if the bounds incompletely specified, or completely
   absent)

   Document reason for difference (by 1) of stack preening depth in
   parse_var_DIE vs parse_type_DIE.

   Don't hand to ML_(addVars), vars whose locations are entirely in
   registers (DW_OP_reg*).  This is merely a space-saving
   optimisation, as ML_(evaluate_Dwarf3_Expr) should handle these
   expressions correctly, by failing to evaluate them and hence
   effectively ignoring the variable with which they are associated.

   Deal with DW_TAG_array_types which have element size != stride

   In some cases, the info for a variable is split between two
   different DIEs (generally a declarer and a definer).  We punt on
   these.  Could do better here.

   The 'data_bias' argument passed to the expression evaluator
   (ML_(evaluate_Dwarf3_Expr)) should really be changed to a
   MaybeUWord, to make it clear when we do vs don't know what it is
   for the evaluation of an expression.  At the moment zero is passed
   for this parameter in the don't know case.  That's a bit fragile
   and obscure; using a MaybeUWord would be clearer.

   POTENTIAL PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS:

   Currently, duplicate removal and all other queries for the type
   entities array is done using cuOffset-based pointing, which
   involves a binary search (VG_(lookupXA)) for each access.  This is
   wildly inefficient, although simple.  It would be better to
   translate all the cuOffset-based references (iow, all the "R" and
   "Rs" fields in the TyEnts in 'tyents') to direct index numbers in
   'tyents' right at the start of dedup_types(), and use direct
   indexing (VG_(indexXA)) wherever possible after that.

   cmp__XArrays_of_AddrRange is also a performance bottleneck.  Move
   VG_(indexXA) into pub_tool_xarray.h so it can be inlined at all use
   points, and possibly also make an _UNCHECKED version which skips
   the range checks in performance-critical situations such as this.

   Handle interaction between read_DIE and parse_{var,type}_DIE
   better.  Currently read_DIE reads the entire DIE just to find where
   the end is (and for debug printing), so that it can later reliably
   move the cursor to the end regardless of what parse_{var,type}_DIE
   do.  This means many DIEs (most, even?) are read twice.  It would
   be smarter to make parse_{var,type}_DIE return a Bool indicating
   whether or not they advanced the DIE cursor, and only if they
   didn't should read_DIE itself read through the DIE.

   ML_(addVar) and add_var_to_arange: quite a lot of DiAddrRanges have
   zero variables in their .vars XArray.  Rather than have an XArray
   with zero elements (which uses 2 malloc'd blocks), allow the .vars
   pointer to be NULL in this case.

   More generally, reduce the amount of memory allocated and freed
   while reading Dwarf3 type/variable information.  Even modest (20MB)
   objects cause this module to allocate and free hundreds of
   thousands of small blocks, and ML_(arena_malloc) and its various
   groupies always show up at the top of performance profiles. */

/* Parse the location list starting at img-offset 'debug_loc_offset'
   in .debug_loc.  Results are biased with 'svma_of_referencing_CU'
   and so I believe are correct SVMAs for the object as a whole.  This
   function allocates the UChar*, and the caller must deallocate it.
   The resulting block is in so-called Guarded-Expression format.

   Guarded-Expression format is similar but not identical to the DWARF3
   location-list format.  The format of each returned block is:

      UChar biasMe;
      UChar isEnd;
      followed by zero or more of

      (Addr aMin;  Addr aMax;  UShort nbytes;  ..bytes..;  UChar isEnd)

   '..bytes..' is an standard DWARF3 location expression which is
   valid when aMin <= pc <= aMax (possibly after suitable biasing).

   The number of bytes in '..bytes..' is nbytes.

   The end of the sequence is marked by an isEnd == 1 value.  All
   previous isEnd values must be zero.

   biasMe is 1 if the aMin/aMax fields need this DebugInfo's
   text_bias added before use, and 0 if the GX is this is not
   necessary (is ready to go).

   Hence the block can be quickly parsed and is self-describing.  Note
   that aMax is 1 less than the corresponding value in a DWARF3
   location list.  Zero length ranges, with aMax == aMin-1, are not
   allowed.

            whereas n1 and n2 do have locations specified.

            ---------------------------------------------

            We see a DW_TAG_formal_parameter with a type, but
            no name and no location.  It's probably part of a function type
            construction, thusly, hence ignore it:

            ---------------------------------------------

            <4><81d>: Abbrev Number: 44 (DW_TAG_variable)
                DW_AT_abstract_origin: <7ba>
            What that signifies I have no idea.  Ignore.

   another CU:  the DIE reading code cannot properly extract data from
   another CU, as the abbv code retrieved in the other CU cannot be
   translated in an abbreviation. Reading data from the alternate debug

   file, but when reading the alt DIE, the string form is a 'local' string,
   but cannot be read in the current CU, but must be read in the alt CU.

   stuff) for the DIE.  abbv is the parsed abbreviation which describe
   the DIE.

   We may find the DIE uninteresting, in which case we should ignore
   it.

   What happens: the DIE is examined.  If uninteresting, it is ignored.
   Otherwise, the DIE gives rise to two things:

   (1) the offset of this DIE in the CU -- the cuOffset, a UWord
   (2) a TyAdmin structure, which holds the type, or related stuff

   (2) is added at the end of 'tyadmins', at some index, say 'i'.

   A pair (cuOffset, i) is added to 'tydict'.

   Hence 'tyadmins' holds the actual type entities, and 'tydict' holds
   a mapping from cuOffset to the index of the corresponding entry in
   'tyadmin'.

   When resolving a cuOffset to a TyAdmin, first look up the cuOffset
   in the tydict (by binary search).  This gives an index into
   tyadmins, and the required entity lives in tyadmins at that index.
