In the common case, for most targets LLVM supports I think you're right,
but for my case, regrettably, not. Because my target is a Harvard
Architecture, any code address can have the same ordinal value as any
data address: the code and data reside on different buses so the whole
4GiB space is available to both code, and data. `DW_AT_low_pc` and
`DW_AT_high_pc` can be used to find the range of the code segment, but
given an arbitrary address, cannot be used to conclusively determine
whether that address belongs to code or data when both segments contain
addresses in that numeric range.

All the Best
