It would be interesting to see the perf tool patch. I don't understand
the use case. So I assume perf currently does something which is wrong
and with your patch calling this new dwfl_set_offline_next_addres it
will do the right thing. That is what I was thinking of when asking
for an example or testcase. I agree that on itself such a simple
setter doesn't need a dedicated testcase. But maybe we can come up
with a testcase given the right context.

Cheers,

Mark
