<h3 class="section">8.8 The &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo; Type Descriptor</h3>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>@</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>
<p>The following C<tt>++</tt> source:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">typedef int A::*int_in_a;
</pre></div>
<p>generates the following stab:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">.stabs &quot;int_in_a:t20=21=@19,1&quot;,128,0,0,0
</pre></div>
<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>@</samp>&rsquo;.
Fortunately, the &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo; type descriptor used in this C<tt>++</tt> sense always
will be followed by a digit, &lsquo;<samp>(</samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo;, and type attributes
never start with those things.
