.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions create a
.Dv DW_AT_const_value
attribute descriptor and attach it to the debugging information entry
referenced by argument
.Fa die .
.Pp
Argument
.Fa die
should reference a debugging information entry allocated using
.Xr dwarf_new_die 3 .
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_add_AT_const_value_signedint
creates a
.Dv DW_AT_const_value
attribute descriptor containing the signed value specified by argument
.Fa value .
The created attribute descriptor will have DWARF form
.Dv DW_FORM_sdata .
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_add_AT_const_value_unsignedint
creates a
.Dv DW_AT_const_value
attribute descriptor containing the unsigned value specified by
argument
.Fa value .
The created attribute descriptor will have DWARF form
.Dv DW_FORM_udata .
.Pp
Function
.Fn dwarf_add_AT_const_value_string
creates a
.Dv DW_AT_const_value
attribute descriptor containing the string pointed to by the
NUL-terminated argument
.Fa str .
The created attribute descriptor will have DWARF form
.Dv DW_FORM_strp .
.Pp
If argument
.Fa err
is not
.Dv NULL ,
it will be used by these functions to store error
information in case of an error.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return the created attribute descriptor.
In case of an error, these functions return
.Dv DW_DLV_BADADDR
and set the argument
.Fa err .
.Sh ERRORS
These functions can fail with:
.Bl -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT"
.It Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT
Either of the arguments
.Fa die
or
.Fa str
was
.Dv NULL .
.It Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY
An out of memory condition was encountered during execution.
