Every DebugStr has an offset of 0 in simple example

This is really strange, and it doesn't affect the dwarfdump example despite the fact that I can't find any difference between what they do...

simple.txt
obj.zip

The simple example doesn't handle relocations, so all relocatable offsets will be handled as if they are zero. This is only affects object files and not linked executables and libraries, as for those the debug info relocations are resolved by the linker.

...oops. Should I just copy add_relocations from dwarfdump.rs?

[bjorn3]

You also need to use the Relocate type from dwarfdump.rs as reader instead of EndianSlice.

That worked, thanks! Should this be documented somewhere?

If you can point to a good spot to document it where you would have found it.

A comment in examples/simple.rs saying something like // WARNING: This does not apply relocations, and so will not work for some types of files. would be helpful.

I ran into this exact same thing years later, and agree that that comment would have saved me a lot of debugging. :)

I'm changing object and gimli to make it easier to handle relocations, and I'll update the example to use it.
