Subject: Fix for stabs documentation
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2002 03:43:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <OFEE1C61F1.E7DEFFC3-ON80256C5A.0038EA8B@intra> (raw)
This isn't really a patch, but I couldn't find any other contact
address for "the gdb developers".
Section 7.8 of the stabs documentation (at
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/onlinedocs/stabs.html) says:
The `@' type descriptor is for a member (class and variable)
type. It is followed by type information for the offset basetype,
a comma, and type information for the type of the field being
pointed to. (FIXME: this is acknowledged to be gibberish. Can
anyone say what really goes here?).
I suggest using something along the following lines:
The `@' type descriptor is used together with the `*' type
descriptor for a pointer-to-non-static-member-data type. It
is followed by type information for the class (or union), a
comma, and type information for the member data.
The following C++ source:
typedef int A::*int_in_a;
generates the following stab:
.stabs "int_in_a:t20=*21=@19,1",128,0,0,0
