Example walking CUs(d)

Example accessing all CUs looking for specific items(d).

Example accessing all CUs looking for specific items(d).

Loops through as many CUs as needed, stops and returns once a CU provides the desired data.

Assumes certain functions you write to remember the aspect of CUs that matter to you so once found in a cu my_needed_data_exists() or some other function of yours can identify the correct record. (Possibly a DIE global offset. Remember to note if each DIE has is_info TRUE or FALSE so libdwarf can find the DIE properly.)

Depending on your goals in examining the DIE tree it may be helpful to maintain a DIE stack of active DIEs, pushing and popping as you make your way throught the DIE levels.

We assume that on a serious error we will give up (for simplicity here).

We assume the caller to examplecuhdrd() will know what to retrieve (when we return DW_DLV_OK from examplecuhdrd() and that myrecords points to a record with all the data needed by my_needed_data_exists() and recorded by myrecord_data_for_die().
