<h4 class="subsection">7.2.2 Transformations on Global Variables</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Stabs for global variables do not contain location information. In
|
|
this case, the debugger finds location information in the assembler or
|
|
linker symbol table entry describing the variable. The source line:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">char g_foo = 'c';
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>generates the stab:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">.stabs "g_foo:G2",32,0,0,0
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The variable is represented by two symbol table entries in the object
|
|
file (see below). The first one originated as a stab. The second one
|
|
is an external symbol. The upper case ‘<samp>D</samp>’ signifies that the
|
|
<code>n_type</code> field of the symbol table contains 7, <code>N_DATA</code> with
|
|
local linkage. The stab’s value is zero since the value is not used for
|
|
<code>N_GSYM</code> stabs. The value of the linker symbol is the relocatable
|
|
address corresponding to the variable.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">00000000 - 00 0000 GSYM g_foo:G2
|
|
00000080 D _g_foo
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>These entries as transformed by the linker. The linker symbol table
|
|
entry now holds an absolute address:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">00000000 - 00 0000 GSYM g_foo:G2
|
|
…
|
|
0000e008 D _g_foo
|
|
</pre></div>
