<h3 class="section">8.5 Class Instance</h3>
<p>As shown above, describing even a simple C<tt>++</tt> class definition is
accomplished by massively extending the stab format used in C to
describe structure types. However, once the class is defined, C stabs
with no modifications can be used to describe class instances. The
following source:
<pre class="example"> main () {
baseA AbaseA;
}
</pre>
<p class="noindent">yields the following stab describing the class instance. It looks no
different from a standard C stab describing a local variable.
<pre class="display"> .stabs "name:type_ref(baseA)", N_LSYM, NIL, NIL, frame_ptr_offset
</pre>
<pre class="example"> .stabs "AbaseA:20",128,0,0,-20
</pre>
