<p>The class definition shown above declares Ameth. The C<tt>++</tt> source below
|
||
|
|
defines Ameth:

|

<div class="example">

<pre class="example">int
|

baseA::Ameth(int in, char other)

|

{
|
||
|
|
return in;
|

</pre></div>

|
<p>This method definition yields three stabs following the code of the
|
||
|
|
method. One stab describes the method itself and following two describe
|
||
|
|
its parameters. Although there is only one formal argument all methods
|
||
|
|
have an implicit argument which is the <code>this</code> pointer. The <code>this</code>
|
||
|
|
pointer is a pointer to the object on which the method was called. Note
|
||
|
|
that the method name is mangled to encode the class name and argument
|
||
|
|
types. Name mangling is described in the <small>ARM</small> (<cite>The Annotated
|
||
|
|
C++ Reference Manual</cite>, by Ellis and Stroustrup, <small>ISBN</small>
|
||
|
|
0-201-51459-1); <samp>gpcompare.texi</samp> in Cygnus GCC distributions
|
||
|
|
describes the differences between GNU mangling and <small>ARM</small>
|
||
|
|
mangling.

<p>Here is the stab for the <code>this</code> pointer implicit argument. The
|
||
|
|
name of the <code>this</code> pointer is always <code>this</code>. Type 19, the
|
||
|
|
<code>this</code> pointer is defined as a pointer to type 20, <code>baseA</code>,
|
||
|
|
but a stab defining <code>baseA</code> has not yet been emitted. Since the
|
||
|
|
compiler knows it will be emitted shortly, here it just outputs a cross
|
||
|
|
reference to the undefined symbol, by prefixing the symbol name with
|
||
|
|
‘<samp>xs</samp>’.

<p>The stab for the explicit integer argument looks just like a parameter
|
||
|
|
to a C function. The last field of the stab is the offset from the
|
||
|
|
argument pointer, which in most systems is the same as the frame
|
||
|
|
pointer.
