| <p>Most languages allow the main program to have any name. The |
| <code>N_MAIN</code> stab type tells the debugger the name that is used in this |
| program. Only the string field is significant; it is the name of |
| a function which is the main program. Most C compilers do not use this |
| stab (they expect the debugger to assume that the name is <code>main</code>), |
| but some C compilers emit an <code>N_MAIN</code> stab for the <code>main</code> |
| function. I’m not sure how XCOFF handles this. |
