Hi,
The proposed DWARF5 suggestion "dynamic properties of types: reference
interpretation" http://dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=100805.1 says:
Accepted with modification -- Sept. 18, 2012
The second bullet in Section 2.19, pg. 40, reads as follows:
- For a reference, the value is a reference to another
entity which specifies the value of the attribute.
Revised text:
- For a reference, the value is a DWARF procedure that computes
the attribute value".
I always assumed that the original text referred to a the value of a
Data Object Entry (given by its DW_AT_location or DW_AT_const_value).
The clarification says it refers to DWARF procedures. Which are defined
(in 2.16) as only those Data Objects that have a DW_AT_location.
Which would mean Data Object Entries whose value are given by a
DW_AT_const_value are not legal reference targets.
Was that the intention of the clarification?
Thanks,
Mark
