<h3 class="section">4.5 Static Variables</h3>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Initialized static variables are represented by the ‘<samp>S</samp>’ and
|
||
|
‘<samp>V</samp>’ symbol descriptors. ‘<samp>S</samp>’ means file scope static, and
|
||
|
‘<samp>V</samp>’ means procedure scope static. One exception: in XCOFF, IBM’s
|
||
|
xlc compiler always uses ‘<samp>V</samp>’, and whether it is file scope or not
|
||
|
is distinguished by whether the stab is located within a function.
|
||

<a name="index-N_005fFUN_002c-for-variables"></a>
|
||
|
<a name="index-N_005fROSYM"></a>
|
||
|
<p>In a.out files, <code>N_STSYM</code> means the data section, <code>N_FUN</code>
|
||
|
means the text section, and <code>N_LCSYM</code> means the bss section. For
|
||
|
those systems with a read-only data section separate from the text
|
||
|
section (Solaris), <code>N_ROSYM</code> means the read-only data section.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>For example, the source lines:
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<div class="example">
|
||
|
<pre class="example">static const int var_const = 5;
|
||
|
static int var_init = 2;
|
||
|
static int var_noinit;
|
||
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>yield the following stabs:
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<div class="example">
|
||
|
<pre class="example">.stabs "var_const:S1",36,0,0,_var_const # <span class="roman">36 is N_FUN</span>
|
||
|
…
|
||
|
.stabs "var_init:S1",38,0,0,_var_init # <span class="roman">38 is N_STSYM</span>
|
||
|
…
|
||
|
.stabs "var_noinit:S1",40,0,0,_var_noinit # <span class="roman">40 is N_LCSYM</span>
|
||
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<a name="index-C_005fSTSYM"></a>
|
||
|
<a name="index-C_005fBSTAT"></a>
|
||
|
<a name="index-C_005fESTAT"></a>
|
||
|
<p>In XCOFF files, the stab type need not indicate the section;
|
||
|
<code>C_STSYM</code> can be used for all statics. Also, each static variable
|
||
|
is enclosed in a static block. A <code>C_BSTAT</code> (emitted with a
|
||
|
‘<samp>.bs</samp>’ assembler directive) symbol begins the static block; its
|
||
|
value is the symbol number of the csect symbol whose value is the
|
||
|
address of the static block, its section is the section of the variables
|
||
|
in that static block, and its name is ‘<samp>.bs</samp>’. A <code>C_ESTAT</code>
|
||
|
(emitted with a ‘<samp>.es</samp>’ assembler directive) symbol ends the static
|
||
|
block; its name is ‘<samp>.es</samp>’ and its value and section are ignored.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>In ECOFF files, the storage class is used to specify the section, so the
|
||
|
stab type need not indicate the section.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>In ELF files, for the SunPRO compiler version 2.0.1, symbol descriptor
|
||
|
‘<samp>S</samp>’ means that the address is absolute (the linker relocates it)
|
||
|
and symbol descriptor ‘<samp>V</samp>’ means that the address is relative to the
|
||
|
start of the relevant section for that compilation unit. SunPRO has
|
||
|
plans to have the linker stop relocating stabs; I suspect that their the
|
||
|
debugger gets the address from the corresponding ELF (not stab) symbol.
|
||
|
I’m not sure how to find which symbol of that name is the right one.
|
||
|
The clean way to do all this would be to have the value of a symbol
|
||
|
descriptor ‘<samp>S</samp>’ symbol be an offset relative to the start of the
|
||
|
file, just like everything else, but that introduces obvious
|
||
|
compatibility problems. For more information on linker stab relocation,
|
||
|
See <a href="ELF-Linker-Relocation.html#ELF-Linker-Relocation">ELF Linker Relocation</a>.
