@node Macro define and undefine
@chapter Representation of #define and #undef
This section describes the stabs support for macro define and undefine
information, supported on some systems. (e.g., with @option{-g3}
@option{-gstabs} when using GCC).
A @code{#define @var{macro-name} @var{macro-body}} is represented with
an @code{N_MAC_DEFINE} stab with a string field of
@code{@var{macro-name} @var{macro-body}}.
@findex N_MAC_DEFINE
An @code{#undef @var{macro-name}} is represented with an
@code{N_MAC_UNDEF} stabs with a string field of simply
@code{@var{macro-name}}.
@findex N_MAC_UNDEF
For both @code{N_MAC_DEFINE} and @code{N_MAC_UNDEF}, the desc field is
the line number within the file where the corresponding @code{#define}
or @code{#undef} occurred.
For example, the following C code:
@example
#define NONE 42
#define TWO(a, b) (a + (a) + 2 * b)
#define ONE(c) (c + 19)
main(int argc, char *argv[])
@{
func(NONE, TWO(10, 11));
func(NONE, ONE(23));
#undef ONE
#define ONE(c) (c + 23)
func(NONE, ONE(-23));
return (0);
@}
int global;
func(int arg1, int arg2)
@{
global = arg1 + arg2;
@}
@end example
@noindent
produces the following stabs (as well as many others):
@example
.stabs "NONE 42",54,0,1,0
.stabs "TWO(a,b) (a + (a) + 2 * b)",54,0,2,0
.stabs "ONE(c) (c + 19)",54,0,3,0
.stabs "ONE",58,0,10,0
.stabs "ONE(c) (c + 23)",54,0,11,0
@end example
@noindent
NOTE: In the above example, @code{54} is @code{N_MAC_DEFINE} and
@code{58} is @code{N_MAC_UNDEF}.
