| <h3 class="section">8.9 Protections</h3> |
| |
| <p>In the simple class definition shown above all member data and |
| functions were publicly accessible. The example that follows |
| contrasts public, protected and privately accessible fields and shows |
| how these protections are encoded in C<tt>++</tt> stabs. |
| </p> |
| <p>If the character following the ‘<samp><var>field-name</var>:</samp>’ part of the |
| string is ‘<samp>/</samp>’, then the next character is the visibility. ‘<samp>0</samp>’ |
| means private, ‘<samp>1</samp>’ means protected, and ‘<samp>2</samp>’ means public. |
| Debuggers should ignore visibility characters they do not recognize, and |
| assume a reasonable default (such as public) (GDB 4.11 does not, but |
| this should be fixed in the next GDB release). If no visibility is |
| specified the field is public. The visibility ‘<samp>9</samp>’ means that the |
| field has been optimized out and is public (there is no way to specify |
| an optimized out field with a private or protected visibility). |
| Visibility ‘<samp>9</samp>’ is not supported by GDB 4.11; this should be fixed |
| in the next GDB release. |
| </p> |
| <p>The following C<tt>++</tt> source: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example">class vis { |
| private: |
| int priv; |
| protected: |
| char prot; |
| public: |
| float pub; |
| }; |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>generates the following stab: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example"># <span class="roman">128 is N_LSYM</span> |
| .stabs "vis:T19=s12priv:/01,0,32;prot:/12,32,8;pub:12,64,32;;",128,0,0,0 |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>‘<samp>vis:T19=s12</samp>’ indicates that type number 19 is a 12 byte structure |
| named <code>vis</code> The <code>priv</code> field has public visibility |
| (‘<samp>/0</samp>’), type int (‘<samp>1</samp>’), and offset and size ‘<samp>,0,32;</samp>’. |
| The <code>prot</code> field has protected visibility (‘<samp>/1</samp>’), type char |
| (‘<samp>2</samp>’) and offset and size ‘<samp>,32,8;</samp>’. The <code>pub</code> field has |
| type float (‘<samp>12</samp>’), and offset and size ‘<samp>,64,32;</samp>’. |
| </p> |
| <p>Protections for member functions are signified by one digit embedded in |
| the field part of the stab describing the method. The digit is 0 if |
| private, 1 if protected and 2 if public. Consider the C<tt>++</tt> class |
| definition below: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example">class all_methods { |
| private: |
| int priv_meth(int in){return in;}; |
| protected: |
| char protMeth(char in){return in;}; |
| public: |
| float pubMeth(float in){return in;}; |
| }; |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>It generates the following stab. The digit in question is to the left |
| of an ‘<samp>A</samp>’ in each case. Notice also that in this case two symbol |
| descriptors apply to the class name struct tag and struct type. |
| </p> |
| <div class="display"> |
| <pre class="display">.stabs "class_name:sym_desc(struct tag&type)type_def(21)= |
| sym_desc(struct)struct_bytes(1) |
| meth_name::type_def(22)=sym_desc(method)returning(int); |
| :args(int);protection(private)modifier(normal)virtual(no); |

| meth_name::type_def(24)=sym_desc(method)returning(float); |
| :args(float);protection(public)modifier(normal)virtual(no);;", |
| N_LSYM,NIL,NIL,NIL |

| <div class="smallexample"> |
| <pre class="smallexample">.stabs "all_methods:Tt21=s1priv_meth::22=##1;:i;0A.;protMeth::23=##2;:c;1A.; |
