<h3 class="section">8.4 Simple Class Definition</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The stabs describing C<tt>++</tt> language features are an extension of the
|
||
|
|
stabs describing C. Stabs representing C<tt>++</tt> class types elaborate
|
||
|
|
extensively on the stab format used to describe structure types in C.
|
||
|
|
Stabs representing class type variables look just like stabs
|
||
|
|
representing C language variables.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Consider the following very simple class definition.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="example">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="example">class baseA {
|
||
|
|
public:
|
||
|
|
int Adat;
|
||
|
|
int Ameth(int in, char other);
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The class <code>baseA</code> is represented by two stabs. The first stab describes
|
||
|
|
the class as a structure type. The second stab describes a structure
|
||
|
|
tag of the class type. Both stabs are of stab type <code>N_LSYM</code>. Since the
|
||
|
|
stab is not located between an <code>N_FUN</code> and an <code>N_LBRAC</code> stab this indicates
|
||
|
|
that the class is defined at file scope. If it were, then the <code>N_LSYM</code>
|
||
|
|
would signify a local variable.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A stab describing a C<tt>++</tt> class type is similar in format to a stab
|
||
|
|
describing a C struct, with each class member shown as a field in the
|
||
|
|
structure. The part of the struct format describing fields is
|
||
|
|
expanded to include extra information relevant to C<tt>++</tt> class members.
|
||
|
|
In addition, if the class has multiple base classes or virtual
|
||
|
|
functions the struct format outside of the field parts is also
|
||
|
|
augmented.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In this simple example the field part of the C<tt>++</tt> class stab
|
||
|
|
representing member data looks just like the field part of a C struct
|
||
|
|
stab. The section on protections describes how its format is
|
||
|
|
sometimes extended for member data.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The field part of a C<tt>++</tt> class stab representing a member function
|
||
|
|
differs substantially from the field part of a C struct stab. It
|
||
|
|
still begins with ‘<samp>name:</samp>’ but then goes on to define a new type number
|
||
|
|
for the member function, describe its return type, its argument types,
|
||
|
|
its protection level, any qualifiers applied to the method definition,
|
||
|
|
and whether the method is virtual or not. If the method is virtual
|
||
|
|
then the method description goes on to give the vtable index of the
|
||
|
|
method, and the type number of the first base class defining the
|
||
|
|
method.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When the field name is a method name it is followed by two colons rather
|
||
|
|
than one. This is followed by a new type definition for the method.
|
||
|
|
This is a number followed by an equal sign and the type of the method.
|
||
|
|
Normally this will be a type declared using the ‘<samp>#</samp>’ type
|
||
|
|
descriptor; see <a href="Method-Type-Descriptor.html#Method-Type-Descriptor">Method Type Descriptor</a>; static member functions
|
||
|
|
are declared using the ‘<samp>f</samp>’ type descriptor instead; see
|
||
|
|
<a href="Function-Types.html#Function-Types">Function Types</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The format of an overloaded operator method name differs from that of
|
||
|
|
other methods. It is ‘<samp>op$::<var>operator-name</var>.</samp>’ where
|
||
|
|
<var>operator-name</var> is the operator name such as ‘<samp>+</samp>’ or ‘<samp>+=</samp>’.
|
||
|
|
The name ends with a period, and any characters except the period can
|
||
|
|
occur in the <var>operator-name</var> string.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The next part of the method description represents the arguments to the
|
||
|
|
method, preceded by a colon and ending with a semi-colon. The types of
|
||
|
|
the arguments are expressed in the same way argument types are expressed
|
||
|
|
in C<tt>++</tt> name mangling. In this example an <code>int</code> and a <code>char</code>
|
||
|
|
map to ‘<samp>ic</samp>’.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This is followed by a number, a letter, and an asterisk or period,
|
||
|
|
followed by another semicolon. The number indicates the protections
|
||
|
|
that apply to the member function. Here the 2 means public. The
|
||
|
|
letter encodes any qualifier applied to the method definition. In
|
||
|
|
this case, ‘<samp>A</samp>’ means that it is a normal function definition. The dot
|
||
|
|
shows that the method is not virtual. The sections that follow
|
||
|
|
elaborate further on these fields and describe the additional
|
||
|
|
information present for virtual methods.
