“This header is followed by a series of tuples. Each tuple consists of
an address and a length, each in the size appropriate for an address on
the target architecture. The first tuple following the header in each
set begins at an offset that is a multiple of the size of a single tuple
(that is, twice the size of an address). The header is padded, if
necessary, to the appropriate boundary. Each set of tuples is terminated
by a 0 for the address and 0 for the length.”
Note the third sentence:
“The first tuple following the header in each set begins at an offset
that is a multiple of the size of a single tuple (that is, twice the
size of an address).”
Meanwhile in DWARFv4, section 6.1.2, which describes the same, the
corresponding fragment goes:
In dwarf2, dwarf3, and dwarf4 and dwarf5 every Section 7 description
has that requirement. Section 7 is (usually) the 'formal'
data layout description.
The section 6 descriptions match too, and do not mention that
offset alignment requirement.
