Another way is with the @samp{x} type descriptor, which is followed by

a enumerator tag, followed by the name of the tag, followed by @samp{:}.

the field is an element of. So the definition of structure type 16
contains a type definition for an element which is a pointer to type 16.
+If a field is a static member (this is a C++ feature in which a single
+variable appears to be a field of every structure of a given type) it
+still starts out with the field name, a colon, and the type, but then
