static int plain_type_1 ( )
static
   Return the .type value for type TYPE.

   LEVEL indicates how many levels deep we have recursed into the type.
   The SDB debug format can only represent 6 derived levels of types.
   After that, we must output inaccurate debug info.  We deliberately
   stop before the 7th level, so that ADA recursive types will not give an
   infinite loop.  
           Carefully distinguish all the standard types of C,
           without messing up if the language is not C.
           Note that we check only for the names that contain spaces;
           other names might occur by coincidence in other languages.  
               Output the referenced structure tag name
               only if the .def has already been finished.
               At least on 386, the Unix assembler
               cannot handle forward references to tags.  
               But the 88100, it requires them, sigh...  
               And the MIPS requires unknown refs as well...  
               These 3 lines used to follow the close brace.
               However, a size of 0 without a tag implies a tag of 0,
               so if we don't know a tag, we can't mention the size.  
static void sdbout_begin_block ( unsigned  int,
unsigned  int 
)
static
static void sdbout_begin_block ( )
static
   Describe the beginning of an internal block within a function.
   Also output descriptions of variables defined in this block.

   N is the number of the block, by order of beginning, counting from 1,
   and not counting the outermost (function top-level) block.
   The blocks match the BLOCKs in DECL_INITIAL (current_function_decl),
   if the count starts at 0 for the outermost one.  
     The SCO compiler does not emit a separate block for the function level
     scope, so we avoid it here also.  
         Include the outermost BLOCK's variables in block 1.  
     If -g1, suppress all the internal symbols of functions
     except for arguments.

static
static void sdbout_field_types ( )
static
   Output types of the fields of type TYPE, if they are structs.

   Formerly did not chase through pointer types, since that could be circular.
   They must come before TYPE, since forward refs are not allowed.
   Now james@bigtex.cactus.org says to try them.  
       This condition should match the one for emitting the actual

   Use this to put out the top level defined record and union types
   for later reference.  If this is a struct with a name, then put that
   name out.  Other unnamed structs will have .xxfake labels generated so
   that they may be referred to later.
   The label will be stored in the KNOWN_TYPE_TAG slot of a type.
   It may NOT be called recursively.  
         Don't output a type twice.  
           James said test TREE_ASM_BEING_WRITTEN here.  
         Output nothing if type is not yet defined.  
         This is reputed to cause trouble with the following case,
         but perhaps checking TYPE_SIZE above will fix it.  
         Here is a testcase:

        struct foo {
          struct badstr *bbb;
        } forwardref;

        typedef struct intermediate {
          int aaaa;
        } intermediate_ref;

        typedef struct badstr {
          int ccccc;
        } badtype;   
         This change, which ought to make better output,
         used to make the COFF assembler unhappy.
         Changes involving KNOWN_TYPE_TAG may fix the problem.  
         Before really doing anything, output types we want to refer to.  
         Note that in version 1 the following two lines
         are not used if forward references are in use.  
         Output a structure type.  
           Record the type tag, but not in its permanent place just yet.  
           Print out the base class information with fields
           named after the types they hold.  
           This is only relevant to aggregate types.  TYPE_BINFO is used
           for other purposes in an ENUMERAL_TYPE, so we must exclude that
           case.  
           Output the individual fields.  
               Output the name, type, position (in bits), size (in bits)
               of each field.  
               Omit here the nameless fields that are used to skip bits.
               Also omit fields with variable size or position.
               Also omit non FIELD_DECL nodes that GNU C++ may put here.  
           Output end of a structure,union, or enumeral definition.  
static void sdbout_parms ( tree  )
static
static void sdbout_parms ( )
static
   The following two functions output definitions of function parameters.
   Each parameter gets a definition locating it in the parameter list.
   Each parameter that is a register variable gets a second definition
   locating it in the register.

   Printing or argument lists in gdb uses the definitions that
   locate in the parameter list.  But reference to the variable in
   expressions uses preferentially the definition as a register.  
   Output definitions, referring to storage in the parmlist,
   of all the parms in PARMS, which is a chain of PARM_DECL nodes.  
           Perform any necessary register eliminations on the parameter's rtl,
           so that the debugging output will be accurate.  
               ??? Here we assume that the parm address is indexed
               off the frame pointer or arg pointer.
               If that is not true, we produce meaningless results,
               but do not crash.  
                   This is the case where the parm is passed as an int or
                   double and it is converted to a char, short or float
                   and stored back in the parmlist.  In this case, describe
                   the parm with the variable's declared type, and adjust
                   the address if the least significant bytes (which we are
                   using) are not the first ones.  
               Parm passed in registers and lives in registers or nowhere.  
               If parm lives in a register, use that register;
               pretend the parm was passed there.  It would be more consistent
               to describe the register where the parm was passed,
               but in practice that register usually holds something else.  
               If the parm lives nowhere,
               use the register where it was passed.  
               Parm was passed in registers but lives on the stack.  
               DECL_RTL looks like (MEM (PLUS (REG...) (CONST_INT...))),
               in which case we want the value of that CONST_INT,
               or (MEM (REG ...)) or (MEM (MEM ...)),
               in which case we use a value of zero.  
               Again, this assumes the offset is based on the arg pointer.

static
static void sdbout_record_type_name ( )
static
         Find the IDENTIFIER_NODE for the type name.  
             The DECL_NAME for templates includes "<>", which breaks
             most assemblers.  Use its assembler name instead, which
             has been mangled into being safe.  
         Now get the name as a string, or invent one.  
static void sdbout_reg_parms ( tree  )
static
static void sdbout_reg_parms ( )
static
   Output definitions for the places where parms live during the function,
   when different from where they were passed, when the parms were passed
   in memory.

   It is not useful to do this for parms passed in registers
   that live during the function in different registers, because it is
   impossible to look in the passed register for the passed value,
   so we use the within-the-function register to begin with.

   PARMS is a chain of PARM_DECL nodes.  
           Report parms that live in registers during the function
           but were passed in memory.  
           Report parms that live in memory but not where they were passed.  
               A parm declared char is really passed as an int,
               so it occupies the least significant bytes.
               On a big-endian machine those are not the low-numbered ones.

void sdbout_symbol ( )
   Output SDB information for a symbol described by DECL.
   LOCAL is nonzero if the symbol is not file-scope.  
     If we are called before sdbout_init is run, just save the symbol
     for later.  
         Enum values are defined by defining the enum type.  
         Don't mention a nested function under its parent.  
         Check DECL_INITIAL to distinguish declarations from definitions.
         Don't output debug info here for declarations; they will have
         a DECL_INITIAL value of 0.  
         Done with tagged types.  
         Don't output intrinsic types.  GAS chokes on SDB .def
         statements that contain identifiers with embedded spaces
         (eg "unsigned long").  
         Output typedef name.  
         Parm decls go in their own separate chains
         and are output by sdbout_reg_parms and sdbout_parms.  
         Don't mention a variable that is external.
         Let the file that defines it describe it.  
         Ignore __FUNCTION__, etc.  
         If there was an error in the declaration, don't dump core
         if there is no RTL associated with the variable doesn't
         exist.  
         Don't mention a variable at all
         if it was completely optimized into nothingness.

         If DECL was from an inline function, then its rtl
         is not identically the rtl that was used in this
         particular compilation.  
         Don't output anything if an auto variable
         gets RTL that is static.
         GAS version 2.2 can't handle such output.  
         Emit any structure, union, or enum type that has not been output.
         This occurs for tag-less structs (et al) used to declare variables
         within functions.  
         Defer SDB information for top-level initialized variables! 
         C++ in 2.3 makes nameless symbols.  That will be fixed later.
         For now, avoid crashing.  
         Record the name for, starting a symtab entry.  
           If the value is indirect by memory or by a register
           that isn't the frame pointer
           then it means the object is variable-sized and address through
           that register or stack slot.  COFF has no way to represent this
           so all we can do is output the variable as a pointer.  
                 DECL_RTL looks like (MEM (MEM (PLUS (REG...)
                 (CONST_INT...)))).
                 We want the value of that CONST_INT.  
                 Encore compiler hates a newline in a macro arg, it seems.  
             Effectively do build_pointer_type, but don't cache this type,
             since it might be temporary whereas the type it points to
             might have been saved for inlining.  
             Don't use REFERENCE_TYPE because dbx can't handle that.  
                      This is for variables which are at offset zero from
                      the frame pointer.  This happens on the Alpha.
                      Non-frame pointer registers are excluded above.  
             DECL_RTL looks like (MEM (PLUS (REG...) (CONST_INT...)))
             or (MEM (REG...)).  We want the value of that CONST_INT
             or zero.  
             It is something we don't know how to represent for SDB.

I modified the struct.c example and have a nm of a .o resulting from the
AT&T C compiler.  From the example below I would conclude the following:

1. All .defs from structures are emitted as scanned.  The example below
   clearly shows the symbol table entries for BoxRec2 are after the first
   function.

2. All functions and their locals (including statics) are emitted as scanned.

3. All nested unnamed union and structure .defs must be emitted before
   the structure in which they are nested.  The AT&T assembler is a
   one pass beast as far as symbolics are concerned.

4. All structure .defs are emitted before the typedefs that refer to them.

5. All top level static and external variable definitions are moved to the
   end of file with all top level statics occurring first before externs.

6. All undefined references are at the end of the file.
