|
|
<p><a name="index-symbolic-debuggers_002c-information-for-456"></a><a name="index-_0040code_007bstab_0040var_007bx_007d_007d-directives-457"></a>There are three directives that begin <span class="samp">.stab</span>.
|
|
All emit symbols (see <a href="Symbols.html#Symbols">Symbols</a>), for use by symbolic debuggers.
|
|
The symbols are not entered in the <span class="command">as</span> hash table: they
|
|
cannot be referenced elsewhere in the source file.
|
|
Up to five fields are required:
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><var>string</var><dd>This is the symbol's name. It may contain any character except
|
|
<span class="samp">\000</span>, so is more general than ordinary symbol names. Some
|
|
debuggers used to code arbitrarily complex structures into symbol names
|
|
using this field.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><var>type</var><dd>An absolute expression. The symbol's type is set to the low 8 bits of
|
|
this expression. Any bit pattern is permitted, but <code>ld</code>
|
|
and debuggers choke on silly bit patterns.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><var>other</var><dd>An absolute expression. The symbol's “other” attribute is set to the
|
|
low 8 bits of this expression.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><var>desc</var><dd>An absolute expression. The symbol's descriptor is set to the low 16
|
|
bits of this expression.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><var>value</var><dd>An absolute expression which becomes the symbol's value.
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>If a warning is detected while reading a <code>.stabd</code>, <code>.stabn</code>,
|
|
or <code>.stabs</code> statement, the symbol has probably already been created;
|
|
you get a half-formed symbol in your object file. This is
|
|
compatible with earlier assemblers!
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="index-_0040code_007bstabd_007d-directive-458"></a>
|
|
<dl><dt><code>.stabd </code><var>type</var><code> , </code><var>other</var><code> , </code><var>desc</var><dd>
|
|
The “name” of the symbol generated is not even an empty string.
|
|
It is a null pointer, for compatibility. Older assemblers used a
|
|
null pointer so they didn't waste space in object files with empty
|
|
strings.
|
|
|
|
<p>The symbol's value is set to the location counter,
|
|
relocatably. When your program is linked, the value of this symbol
|
|
is the address of the location counter when the <code>.stabd</code> was
|
|
assembled.
