<h3 class="section">8.8 The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">@</span></samp>&rsquo; Type Descriptor</h3>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">@</span></samp>&rsquo; type descriptor is used for a
pointer-to-non-static-member-data type. It is followed
by type information for the class (or union), a comma, and type
information for the member data.
<p>The following C<tt>++</tt> source:
<pre class="smallexample"> typedef int A::*int_in_a;
</pre>
<p>generates the following stab:
<pre class="smallexample"> .stabs "int_in_a:t20=21=@19,1",128,0,0,0
</pre>
<p>Note that there is a conflict between this and type attributes
(see <a href="String-Field.html#String-Field">String Field</a>); both use type descriptor &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">@</span></samp>&rsquo;.
Fortunately, the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">@</span></samp>&rsquo; type descriptor used in this C<tt>++</tt> sense always
will be followed by a digit, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">(</span></samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-</span></samp>&rsquo;, and type attributes
never start with those things.
