Thank you Ron and thank you Michael,
this explanation helps me a lot.
I think I do not have to support 286 and 386 in 16bit mode. So, this
simplifies things a lot.
Kind regards
Jayvee

Jayvee,
If you are dealing with a linear 32- or 64-bit address space then there are
no segments to worry about, so the question is moot. If you are dealing
with a segmented address space, then the problems you describe are exactly
those that debuggers on segmented machine dealt with all the time.

Jayvee,
Your question seems quite clear. I hope this response is equally so.
First off, the segment attribute names a register, whose contents is added
to the address value computed by the other address expression. So in a real
sense, a pair of attributes like DW_AT_segment and DW_AT_pc forms "ju
Dear DWARF experts,
I have a question regarding the attribute DW_AT_segment. I do not quite
understand how to handle it, yet.
It can appear in a DIE (or its parent) whenever DW_AT_low_pc,
DW_AT_high_pc, DW_AT_ranges, DW_AT_entry_pc, or a location description that
evaluates to an Address are used.
