The decoding of the OPs seems correct. Do you happen to know where
DW_OP_GNU_reinterpret is described, I assumed it was part of
http://www.dwarfstd.org/doc/040408.1.html but it isn't in there.
But it seems correct and like how it is done in readelf.c.
For DW_OP_GNU_entry_value and DW_OP_GNU_const_type we shouldn't
forget to cache the block like we do for implicit_value and provide
a public accessor function (in a later patch).

Cheers,

Mark
