die_find_inlinefunc(9)

✨ NAME ✨ — die_find_inlinefunc(9) / Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, this is page die_find_inlinefunc(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s literally all about searching an inlined function at a given address 💅✨

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

Dwarf_Die * die_find_inlinefunc (Dwarf_Die *sp_die , Dwarf_Addr addr ,
       Dwarf_Die *die_mem );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sp_die — a subprogram DIE which including addr.
• addr — target address.
• die_mem — a buffer for result DIE.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Search an inlined function DIE which includes addr. Stores the DIE to die_mem and returns it if found. Returns NULL if failed. If several inlined functions are expanded recursively, this trace it down and returns deepest one.

bestie, if it fails you get NULL — that’s the vibe check 😭
