DESCRIPTION

Function dwarf_vendor_ext() adds a vendor-specific macro information entry to a DWARF producer instance.

Argument dbg should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using dwarf_producer_init(3) or dwarf_producer_init_b(3).

Argument constant specifies a constant value for the macro information entry.

Argument string point to a NUL-terminated string containing the string value for the macro information entry.

If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.

The meaning of the arguments constant and string are not defined by the DWARF specification, but are instead governed by application and vendor conventions.
