<h4 class="subsection">9.22.3 Directives for debugging information</h4>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p><a name="index-MIPS-debugging-directives-1212"></a><span class="sc">mips</span> <span class="sc">ecoff</span> <code>as</code> supports several directives used for
 | 
						|
generating debugging information which are not support by traditional <span class="sc">mips</span>
 | 
						|
assemblers.  These are <code>.def</code>, <code>.endef</code>, <code>.dim</code>, <code>.file</code>,
 | 
						|
<code>.scl</code>, <code>.size</code>, <code>.tag</code>, <code>.type</code>, <code>.val</code>,
 | 
						|
<code>.stabd</code>, <code>.stabn</code>, and <code>.stabs</code>.  The debugging information
 | 
						|
generated by the three <code>.stab</code> directives can only be read by <span class="sc">gdb</span>,
 | 
						|
not by traditional <span class="sc">mips</span> debuggers (this enhancement is required to fully
 | 
						|
support C++ debugging).  These directives are primarily used by compilers, not
 | 
						|
assembly language programmers!
