However, `GetRnglistData` will only return an error message if the contribution offset cannot be read, so the contribution offset cannot be specified in the error message (and thus the absolute offset cannot be inferred) . Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment here?
> Not so correct. The callers of `GetRnglistData` need to know the contribution offset to properly report it during parsing errors in the callers. `GetRnglistTable` can report error if `extractHeaderAndOffsets` finds invalid header data. In such case LLDB will report (with https://www.jankratochvil.net/t/debug_rnglists-dwp.s.patch):

Ahh, okay, thanks a lot for the clarification! I updated a patch to address the error message. Please take a look if the updated patch is what you'd like to see.
