<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:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">main () {
baseA AbaseA;
}
</pre></div>
<p>yields the following stab describing the class instance. It looks no
different from a standard C stab describing a local variable.
</p>
<div class="display">
<pre class="display">.stabs &quot;name:type_ref(baseA)&quot;, N_LSYM, NIL, NIL, frame_ptr_offset
</pre></div>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">.stabs &quot;AbaseA:20&quot;,128,0,0,-20
</pre></div>
