<h3 class="section">5.8 Structures</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The encoding of structures in stabs can be shown with an example.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The following source code declares a structure tag and defines an
|
|
instance of the structure in global scope. Then a <code>typedef</code> equates the
|
|
structure tag with a new type. Separate stabs are generated for the
|
|
structure tag, the structure <code>typedef</code>, and the structure instance. The
|
|
stabs for the tag and the <code>typedef</code> are emitted when the definitions are
|
|
encountered. Since the structure elements are not initialized, the
|
|
stab and code for the structure variable itself is located at the end
|
|
of the program in the bss section.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">struct s_tag {
|
|
int s_int;
|
|
float s_float;
|
|
char s_char_vec[8];
|
|
struct s_tag* s_next;
|
|
} g_an_s;
|
|
|
|
typedef struct s_tag s_typedef;
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The structure tag has an <code>N_LSYM</code> stab type because, like the
|
|
enumeration, the symbol has file scope. Like the enumeration, the
|
|
symbol descriptor is ‘<samp>T</samp>’, for enumeration, structure, or tag type.
|
|
The type descriptor ‘<samp>s</samp>’ following the ‘<samp>16=</samp>’ of the type
|
|
definition narrows the symbol type to structure.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Following the ‘<samp>s</samp>’ type descriptor is the number of bytes the
|
|
structure occupies, followed by a description of each structure element.
|
|
The structure element descriptions are of the form
|
|
‘<samp><var>name</var>:<var>type</var>, <var>bit offset from the start of the
|
|
struct</var>, <var>number of bits in the element</var></samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example"># <span class="roman">128 is N_LSYM</span>
|
|
.stabs "s_tag:T16=s20s_int:1,0,32;s_float:12,32,32;
|
|
s_char_vec:17=ar1;0;7;2,64,64;s_next:18=*16,128,32;;",128,0,0,0
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>In this example, the first two structure elements are previously defined
|
|
types. For these, the type following the ‘<samp><var>name</var>:</samp>’ part of the
|
|
element description is a simple type reference. The other two structure
|
|
elements are new types. In this case there is a type definition
|
|
embedded after the ‘<samp><var>name</var>:</samp>’. The type definition for the
|
|
array element looks just like a type definition for a stand-alone array.
|
|
The <code>s_next</code> field is a pointer to the same kind of structure that
|
|
the field is an element of. So the definition of structure type 16
|
|
contains a type definition for an element which is a pointer to type 16.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If a field is a static member (this is a C<tt>++</tt> feature in which a single
|
|
variable appears to be a field of every structure of a given type) it
|
|
still starts out with the field name, a colon, and the type, but then
|
|
instead of a comma, bit position, comma, and bit size, there is a colon
|
|
followed by the name of the variable which each such field refers to.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If the structure has methods (a C<tt>++</tt> feature), they follow the non-method
|
|
fields; see <a href="Cplusplus.html#Cplusplus">Cplusplus</a>.
