<h3 class="section">8.1 C<tt>++</tt> Class Names</h3>
<p>In C<tt>++</tt>, a class name which is declared with <code>class</code>, <code>struct</code>,
or <code>union</code>, is not only a tag, as in C, but also a type name. Thus
there should be stabs with both &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">t</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">T</span></samp>&rsquo; symbol descriptors
(see <a href="Typedefs.html#Typedefs">Typedefs</a>).
<p>To save space, there is a special abbreviation for this case. If the
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">T</span></samp>&rsquo; symbol descriptor is followed by &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">t</span></samp>&rsquo;, then the stab
defines both a type name and a tag.
<p>For example, the C<tt>++</tt> code
<pre class="example"> struct foo {int x;};
</pre>
<p>can be represented as either
<pre class="example"> .stabs "foo:T19=s4x:1,0,32;;",128,0,0,0 # <span class="roman">128 is N_LSYM</span>
.stabs "foo:t19",128,0,0,0
</pre>
<p>or
<pre class="example"> .stabs "foo:Tt19=s4x:1,0,32;;",128,0,0,0
</pre>
