die_is_func_instance(9)

💖 NAME 💖

die_is_func_instance — okay so this is the page for die_is_func_instance(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally here to ensure that a DIE is an instance of a subprogram. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool die_is_func_instance (Dwarf_Die *dw_die );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dw_die — a DIE. That's the one getting the vibe check. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Bestie, this function makes sure the DIE is an instance — and an instance means it has an entry address. Iconic behavior, honestly.

It returns true if dw_die is a function instance. If it's not, then dw_die must be a prototype, no cap. And if you wanna find actual instances? Use die_walk_instances, periodt. ✨
