To use stabs in ELF object files, the tools create two custom sections, a ".stab" section which contains an array of fixed length structures, one struct per stab, and a ".stabstr" section containing all the variable length strings that are referenced by -stabs in the ".stab" section. +stabs in the ".stab" section. The byte order of the stabs binary data +matches the byte order of the ELF file itself, as determined from the +EI_DATA field in the e_ident member of the ELF header. The first stab in the ".stab" section for each object file is a "synthetic stab", generated entirely by the assembler, with no corresponding ".stab" |
