# A DWARF assembler.
#
# All the variables in this namespace are private to the
# implementation.  Also, any procedure whose name starts with "_" is
# private as well.  Do not use these.
#
# Exported functions are documented at their definition.
#
# In addition to the hand-written functions documented below, this
# module automatically generates a function for each DWARF tag.  For
# most tags, two forms are made: a full name, and one with the
# "DW_TAG_" prefix stripped.  For example, you can use either
# 'DW_TAG_compile_unit' or 'compile_unit' interchangeably.
#
# There are two exceptions to this rule: DW_TAG_variable and
# DW_TAG_namespace.  For these, the full name must always be used,
# as the short name conflicts with Tcl builtins.  (Should future
# versions of Tcl or DWARF add more conflicts, this list will grow.
# If you want to be safe you should always use the full names.)
#
# Each tag procedure is defined like:
#
# proc DW_TAG_mumble {{attrs {}} {children {}}} { ... }
#
# ATTRS is an optional list of attributes.
# It is run through 'subst' in the caller's context before processing.
#
# Each attribute in the list has one of two forms:
#   1. { NAME VALUE }
#   2. { NAME VALUE FORM }
#
# In each case, NAME is the attribute's name.
# This can either be the full name, like 'DW_AT_name', or a shortened
# name, like 'name'.  These are fully equivalent.
#
# Besides DWARF standard attributes, assembler supports 'macro' attribute
# which will be substituted by one or more standard or macro attributes.
# supported macro attributes are:
#
#  - MACRO_AT_range { FUNC FILE }
#  It is substituted by DW_AT_low_pc and DW_AT_high_pc with the start and
#  end address of function FUNC in file FILE.
#
#  - MACRO_AT_func { FUNC FILE }
#  It is substituted by DW_AT_name with FUNC and MACRO_AT_range.
#
# If FORM is given, it should name a DW_FORM_ constant.
# This can either be the short form, like 'DW_FORM_addr', or a
# shortened version, like 'addr'.  If the form is given, VALUE
# is its value; see below.  In some cases, additional processing
# is done; for example, DW_FORM_strp manages the .debug_str
# section automatically.
#
# If FORM is 'SPECIAL_expr', then VALUE is treated as a location
# expression.  The effective form is then DW_FORM_block, and VALUE
# is passed to the (internal) '_location' proc to be translated.
# This proc implements a miniature DW_OP_ assembler.
#
# If FORM is not given, it is guessed:
# * If VALUE starts with the "@" character, the rest of VALUE is
#   looked up as a DWARF constant, and DW_FORM_sdata is used.  For
#   example, '@DW_LANG_c89' could be used.
# * If VALUE starts with the ":" character, then it is a label
#   reference.  The rest of VALUE is taken to be the name of a label,
#   and DW_FORM_ref4 is used.  See 'new_label' and 'define_label'.
# * Otherwise, VALUE is taken to be a string and DW_FORM_string is
#   used.
# More form-guessing functionality may be added.
#
# CHILDREN is just Tcl code that can be used to define child DIEs.  It
# is evaluated in the caller's context.
#
# Currently this code is missing nice support for CFA handling, and
# probably other things as well.
