70
71<p>In C<tt>++</tt>, a class name which is declared with <code>class</code>, <code>struct</code>,
72or <code>union</code>, is not only a tag, as in C, but also a type name.  Thus
73there should be stabs with both &lsquo;<samp>t</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>T</samp>&rsquo; symbol descriptors
74(see <a href="Typedefs.html#Typedefs">Typedefs</a>).
75</p>
76<p>To save space, there is a special abbreviation for this case.  If the
77&lsquo;<samp>T</samp>&rsquo; symbol descriptor is followed by &lsquo;<samp>t</samp>&rsquo;, then the stab
78defines both a type name and a tag.
79</p>
80<p>For example, the C<tt>++</tt> code
81</p>
82<div class="example">
83<pre class="example">struct foo {int x;};
84</pre></div>
85
86<p>can be represented as either
87</p>
88<div class="example">
89<pre class="example">.stabs &quot;foo:T19=s4x:1,0,32;;&quot;,128,0,0,0       # <span class="roman">128 is N_LSYM</span>
90.stabs &quot;foo:t19&quot;,128,0,0,0
91</pre></div>
92
93<p>or
94</p>
95<div class="example">
96<pre class="example">.stabs &quot;foo:Tt19=s4x:1,0,32;;&quot;,128,0,0,0
