Struct gimli::DebugTypes

pub struct DebugTypes<R: Reader> { /* fields omitted */ }

The DebugTypes struct represents the DWARF type information found in the .debug_types section.

Methods

impl<'input, Endian> DebugTypes<EndianSlice<'input, Endian>> where     Endian: Endianity,

pub fn new(debug_types_section: &'input [u8], endian: Endian) -> Self

Construct a new DebugTypes instance from the data in the .debug_types section.

It is the caller's responsibility to read the .debug_types section and present it as a &[u8] slice. That means using some ELF loader on Linux, a Mach-O loader on OSX, etc.

use gimli::{DebugTypes, LittleEndian};

let debug_types = DebugTypes::new(read_debug_types_section_somehow(), LittleEndian);

impl<R: Reader> DebugTypes<R>

pub fn units(&self) -> TypeUnitHeadersIter<R>

Iterate the type-units in this .debug_types section.

use gimli::{DebugTypes, LittleEndian};

let debug_types = DebugTypes::new(read_debug_types_section_somehow(), LittleEndian);

let mut iter = debug_types.units();
while let Some(unit) = iter.next().unwrap() {
    println!("unit's length is {}", unit.unit_length());
}

Can be used with FallibleIterator.
