// dwarf2reader::CompilationUnit is a simple and direct parser for
// DWARF data, but its handler interface is not convenient to use.  In
// particular:
//
// - CompilationUnit calls Dwarf2Handler's member functions to report
//   every attribute's value, regardless of what sort of DIE it is.
//   As a result, the ProcessAttributeX functions end up looking like
//   this:
//
//     switch (parent_die_tag) {
//       case DW_TAG_x:
//         switch (attribute_name) {
//           case DW_AT_y:
//             handle attribute y of DIE type x
//           ...
//         } break;
//       ...
//     } 
//
//   In C++ it's much nicer to use virtual function dispatch to find
//   the right code for a given case than to switch on the DIE tag
//   like this.
//
// - Processing different kinds of DIEs requires different sets of
//   data: lexical block DIEs have start and end addresses, but struct
//   type DIEs don't.  It would be nice to be able to have separate
//   handler classes for separate kinds of DIEs, each with the members
//   appropriate to its role, instead of having one handler class that
//   needs to hold data for every DIE type.
//
// - There should be a separate instance of the appropriate handler
//   class for each DIE, instead of a single object with tables
//   tracking all the dies in the compilation unit.
//
// - It's not convenient to take some action after all a DIE's
//   attributes have been seen, but before visiting any of its
//   children.  The only indication you have that a DIE's attribute
//   list is complete is that you get either a StartDIE or an EndDIE
//   call.
//
// - It's not convenient to make use of the tree structure of the
//   DIEs.  Skipping all the children of a given die requires
//   maintaining state and returning false from StartDIE until we get
//   an EndDIE call with the appropriate offset.
//
// This interface tries to take care of all that.  (You're shocked, I'm sure.)
//
// Using the classes here, you provide an initial handler for the root
// DIE of the compilation unit.  Each handler receives its DIE's
// attributes, and provides fresh handler objects for children of
// interest, if any.  The three classes are:
//
// - DIEHandler: the base class for your DIE-type-specific handler
//   classes.
//
// - RootDIEHandler: derived from DIEHandler, the base class for your
//   root DIE handler class.
//
// - DIEDispatcher: derived from Dwarf2Handler, an instance of this
//   invokes your DIE-type-specific handler objects.
//
// In detail:
//
// - Define handler classes specialized for the DIE types you're
//   interested in.  These handler classes must inherit from
//   DIEHandler.  Thus:
//
//     class My_DW_TAG_X_Handler: public DIEHandler { ... };
//     class My_DW_TAG_Y_Handler: public DIEHandler { ... };
//
//   DIEHandler subclasses needn't correspond exactly to single DIE
//   types, as shown here; the point is that you can have several
//   different classes appropriate to different kinds of DIEs.
//
// - In particular, define a handler class for the compilation
//   unit's root DIE, that inherits from RootDIEHandler:
//
//     class My_DW_TAG_compile_unit_Handler: public RootDIEHandler { ... };
//
//   RootDIEHandler inherits from DIEHandler, adding a few additional
//   member functions for examining the compilation unit as a whole,
//   and other quirks of rootness.
//
// - Then, create a DIEDispatcher instance, passing it an instance of
//   your root DIE handler class, and use that DIEDispatcher as the
//   dwarf2reader::CompilationUnit's handler:
//
//     My_DW_TAG_compile_unit_Handler root_die_handler(...);
//     DIEDispatcher die_dispatcher(&root_die_handler);
//     CompilationUnit reader(sections, offset, bytereader, &die_dispatcher);
//
//   Here, 'die_dispatcher' acts as a shim between 'reader' and the
//   various DIE-specific handlers you have defined.
//
// - When you call reader.Start(), die_dispatcher behaves as follows,
//   starting with your root die handler and the compilation unit's
//   root DIE:
//
//   - It calls the handler's ProcessAttributeX member functions for
//     each of the DIE's attributes.
//
//   - It calls the handler's EndAttributes member function.  This
//     should return true if any of the DIE's children should be
//     visited, in which case:
//
//     - For each of the DIE's children, die_dispatcher calls the
//       DIE's handler's FindChildHandler member function.  If that
//       returns a pointer to a DIEHandler instance, then
//       die_dispatcher uses that handler to process the child, using
//       this procedure recursively.  Alternatively, if
//       FindChildHandler returns NULL, die_dispatcher ignores that
//       child and its descendants.
// 
//   - When die_dispatcher has finished processing all the DIE's
//     children, it invokes the handler's Finish() member function,
//     and destroys the handler.  (As a special case, it doesn't
//     destroy the root DIE handler.)
// 
// This allows the code for handling a particular kind of DIE to be
// gathered together in a single class, makes it easy to skip all the
// children or individual children of a particular DIE, and provides
// appropriate parental context for each die.
