-
- <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>).
