<h2 class="chapter">6 Representation of #define and #undef</h2>
<p>This section describes the stabs support for macro define and undefine
information, supported on some systems. (e.g., with <samp><span class="option">-g3</span></samp>
<samp><span class="option">-gstabs</span></samp> when using GCC).
<p>A <code>#define </code><var>macro-name</var> <var>macro-body</var> is represented with
an <code>N_MAC_DEFINE</code> stab with a string field of
<var>macro-name</var> <var>macro-body</var>.
<a name="index-N_005fMAC_005fDEFINE-51"></a>
An <code>#undef </code><var>macro-name</var> is represented with an
<code>N_MAC_UNDEF</code> stabs with a string field of simply
<var>macro-name</var>.
<a name="index-N_005fMAC_005fUNDEF-52"></a>
For both <code>N_MAC_DEFINE</code> and <code>N_MAC_UNDEF</code>, the desc field is
the line number within the file where the corresponding <code>#define</code>
or <code>#undef</code> occurred.
<p>For example, the following C code:
<pre class="example"> #define NONE 42
#define TWO(a, b) (a + (a) + 2 * b)
#define ONE(c) (c + 19)
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
func(NONE, TWO(10, 11));
func(NONE, ONE(23));
#undef ONE
#define ONE(c) (c + 23)
func(NONE, ONE(-23));
return (0);
}
int global;
func(int arg1, int arg2)
{
global = arg1 + arg2;
}
</pre>
<p class="noindent">produces the following stabs (as well as many others):
<pre class="example"> .stabs "NONE 42",54,0,1,0
.stabs "TWO(a,b) (a + (a) + 2 * b)",54,0,2,0
.stabs "ONE(c) (c + 19)",54,0,3,0
.stabs "ONE",58,0,10,0
.stabs "ONE(c) (c + 23)",54,0,11,0
</pre>
<p class="noindent">NOTE: In the above example, <code>54</code> is <code>N_MAC_DEFINE</code> and
<code>58</code> is <code>N_MAC_UNDEF</code>.
