<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">union u_tag {
|
|
int u_int;

|
<p>This code generates a stab for a union tag and a stab for a union
|
|
variable. Both use the <code>N_LSYM</code> stab type. If a union variable is
|
|
scoped locally to the procedure in which it is defined, its stab is
|
|
located immediately preceding the <code>N_LBRAC</code> for the procedure’s block
|
|
start.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The stab for the union tag, however, is located preceding the code for
|
|
the procedure in which it is defined. The stab type is <code>N_LSYM</code>. This
|
|
would seem to imply that the union type is file scope, like the struct
|
|
type <code>s_tag</code>. This is not true. The contents and position of the stab
|
|
for <code>u_type</code> do not convey any information about its procedure local
|
|
scope.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">

|
<pre class="smallexample"># <span class="roman">128 is N_LSYM</span>

.stabs "u_tag:T23=u4u_int:1,0,32;u_float:12,0,32;u_char:21,0,32;;",
|
|
128,0,0,0
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The symbol descriptor ‘<samp>T</samp>’, following the ‘<samp>name:</samp>’ means that
|
|
the stab describes an enumeration, structure, or union tag. The type
|
|
descriptor ‘<samp>u</samp>’, following the ‘<samp>23=</samp>’ of the type definition,
|
|
narrows it down to a union type definition. Following the ‘<samp>u</samp>’ is
|
|
the number of bytes in the union. After that is a list of union element
|
|
descriptions. Their format is ‘<samp><var>name</var>:<var>type</var>, <var>bit
|
|
offset into the union</var>, <var>number of bytes for the element</var>;</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The stab for the union variable is:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">.stabs "an_u:23",128,0,0,-20 # <span class="roman">128 is N_LSYM</span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>‘<samp>-20</samp>’ specifies where the variable is stored (see <a href="Stack-Variables.html#Stack-Variables">Stack Variables</a>).
