  // offsets and data lengths appearing in the DWARF data. One only needs
  // 64-bit DWARF when the debugging data itself is larger than 4GiB.
  // 32-bit DWARF can handle x86_64 or PPC64 code just fine, unless the
  // debugging data itself is very large.
  //
  // DWARF information identifies itself as 32-bit or 64-bit DWARF: each
  // compilation unit and call frame information entry begins with an
  // "initial length" field, which, in addition to giving the length of the
  // data, also indicates the size of section offsets and lengths appearing
  // in that data. The ReadInitialLength member function, below, reads an
  // initial length and sets the ByteReader's offset size as a side effect.
  // Thus, in the normal process of reading DWARF data, the appropriate
  // offset size is set automatically. So, you should only need to call
  // SetOffsetSize if you are using the same ByteReader to jump from the
  // midst of one block of DWARF data into another.

  // ByteReader's offset size to either 4 (if we see a 32-bit DWARF
  // initial length) or 8 (if we see a 64-bit DWARF initial length).
  //

  //

  // The Linux C++ ABI uses a variant of DWARF call frame information
  // for exception handling. This data is included in the program's
  // address space as the ".eh_frame" section, and intepreted at
  // runtime to walk the stack, find exception handlers, and run
  // cleanup code. The format is mostly the same as DWARF CFI, with
  // some adjustments made to provide the additional
  // exception-handling data, and to make the data easier to work with
  // in memory --- for example, to allow it to be placed in read-only
  // memory even when describing position-independent code.
  //
  // In particular, exception handling data can select a number of
  // different encodings for pointers that appear in the data, as
  // described by the DwarfPointerEncoding enum. There are actually
  // four axes(!) to the encoding:
  //
  // - The pointer size: pointers can be 2, 4, or 8 bytes long, or use
  //   the DWARF LEB128 encoding.
  //
  // - The pointer's signedness: pointers can be signed or unsigned.
  //
  // - The pointer's base address: the data stored in the exception
  //   handling data can be the actual address (that is, an absolute
  //   pointer), or relative to one of a number of different base
  //   addreses --- including that of the encoded pointer itself, for
  //   a form of "pc-relative" addressing.
  //
  // - The pointer may be indirect: it may be the address where the
  //   true pointer is stored. (This is used to refer to things via
  //   global offset table entries, program linkage table entries, or
  //   other tricks used in position-independent code.)
  //
  // There are also two options that fall outside that matrix
  // altogether: the pointer may be omitted, or it may have padding to
  // align it on an appropriate address boundary. (That last option
  // may seem like it should be just another axis, but it is not.)

  // Indicate that the exception handling data is loaded starting at
  // SECTION_BASE, and that the start of its buffer in our own memory
  // is BUFFER_BASE. This allows us to find the address that a given
  // byte in our buffer would have when loaded into the program the
  // data describes. We need this to resolve DW_EH_PE_pcrel pointers.
  void SetCFIDataBase(uint64 section_base, const uint8_t *buffer_base);

  // is TEXT_BASE. We need this to resolve DW_EH_PE_textrel pointers.
  void SetTextBase(uint64 text_base);

  // Indicate that the base address for DW_EH_PE_datarel pointers is
  // DATA_BASE. The proper value depends on the ABI; it is usually the
  // address of the global offset table, held in a designated register in
  // position-independent code. You will need to look at the startup code
  // for the target system to be sure. I tried; my eyes bled.
  void SetDataBase(uint64 data_base);

  // Indicate that the base address for the FDE we are processing is
  // FUNCTION_BASE. This is the start address of DW_EH_PE_funcrel
