<h4 class="subsection">4.7.3 Passing Parameters by Reference</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the parameter is passed by reference (e.g., Pascal <code>VAR</code>
|
|
parameters), then the symbol descriptor is ‘<samp>v</samp>’ if it is in the
|
|
argument list, or ‘<samp>a</samp>’ if it in a register. Other than the fact
|
|
that these contain the address of the parameter rather than the
|
|
parameter itself, they are identical to ‘<samp>p</samp>’ and ‘<samp>R</samp>’,
|
|
respectively. I believe ‘<samp>a</samp>’ is an AIX invention; ‘<samp>v</samp>’ is
|
|
supported by all stabs-using systems as far as I know.
