+ /* Since the objects we're extracting from dwarf_info_buffer vary in
+ length, only the individual functions to extract them (like
+ read_comp_unit_head and read_partial_die) can really know whether

+
+ At the moment, they don't actually check that. If
+ dwarf_info_buffer holds just one extra byte after the last
+ compilation unit's dies, then read_comp_unit_head will happily
+ read off the end of the buffer. read_partial_die is similarly
+ casual. Those functions should be fixed.
+
+ For this loop condition, simply checking whether there's any data
+ left at all should be sufficient. */
