"base" to me means "as > in inheritance", which is not really appropriate here. How about using the dwarf-2 terminology: basis_type? That's how they call the type on which the range type is based: The subrange entry may have a DW_AT_type attribute to describe the type of object, called the basis type, of whose values this subrange is a subset. (base type is the equivalent in Ada terminology) -- Joel
