<a name="index-N_005fSLINE"></a>
|
||
|
|
<p>An <code>N_SLINE</code> symbol represents the start of a source line. The
|
||
|
|
desc field contains the line number and the value contains the code
|
||
|
|
address for the start of that source line. On most machines the address
|
||
|
|
is absolute; for stabs in sections (see <a href="Stab-Sections.html#Stab-Sections">Stab Sections</a>), it is
|
||
|
|
relative to the function in which the <code>N_SLINE</code> symbol occurs.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-N_005fDSLINE"></a>
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-N_005fBSLINE"></a>
|
||
|
|
<p>GNU documents <code>N_DSLINE</code> and <code>N_BSLINE</code> symbols for line
|
||
|
|
numbers in the data or bss segments, respectively. They are identical
|
||
|
|
to <code>N_SLINE</code> but are relocated differently by the linker. They
|
||
|
|
were intended to be used to describe the source location of a variable
|
||
|
|
declaration, but I believe that GCC2 actually puts the line number in
|
||
|
|
the desc field of the stab for the variable itself. GDB has been
|
||
|
|
ignoring these symbols (unless they contain a string field) since
|
||
|
|
at least GDB 3.5.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For single source lines that generate discontiguous code, such as flow
|
||
|
|
of control statements, there may be more than one line number entry for
|
||
|
|
the same source line. In this case there is a line number entry at the
|
||
|
|
start of each code range, each with the same line number.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>XCOFF does not use stabs for line numbers. Instead, it uses COFF line
|
||
|
|
numbers (which are outside the scope of this document). Standard COFF
|
||
|
|
line numbers cannot deal with include files, but in XCOFF this is fixed
|
||
|
|
with the <code>C_BINCL</code> method of marking include files (see <a href="Include-Files.html#Include-Files">Include Files</a>).
