Struct gimli::read::DebugFrame

pub struct DebugFrame<R: Reader> { /* fields omitted */ }

DebugFrame contains the .debug_frame section's frame unwinding information required to unwind to and recover registers from older frames on the stack. For example, this is useful for a debugger that wants to print locals in a backtrace.

Most interesting methods are defined in the UnwindSection trait.

Differences between .debug_frame and .eh_frame

While the .debug_frame section's information has a lot of overlap with the .eh_frame section's information, the .eh_frame information tends to only encode the subset of information needed for exception handling. Often, only one of .eh_frame or .debug_frame will be present in an object file.

Implementations

impl<R: Reader> DebugFrame<R>

pub fn set_address_size(&mut self, address_size: u8)

Set the size of a target address in bytes.

This defaults to the native word size. This is only used if the CIE version is less than 4.

pub fn set_segment_size(&mut self, segment_size: u8)

Set the size of a segment selector in bytes.

This defaults to 0. This is only used if the CIE version is less than 4.

impl<'input, Endian> DebugFrame<EndianSlice<'input, Endian>> where
    Endian: Endianity, 

pub fn new(section: &'input [u8], endian: Endian) -> Self

Construct a new DebugFrame instance from the data in the .debug_frame section.

It is the caller's responsibility to read the section and present it as a &[u8] slice. That means using some ELF loader on Linux, a Mach-O loader on OSX, etc.

use gimli::{DebugFrame, NativeEndian};

// Use with `.debug_frame`
let debug_frame = DebugFrame::new(read_debug_frame_section_somehow(), NativeEndian);
