The symbol's value is absolute, and will not be changed by further

The symbol is in the uninitialized data section (known as BSS).

@item C

Common.
|

The symbol is common. Common symbols are uninitialized data. When
|

linking, multiple common symbols may appear with the same name. If the
|
||||
symbol is defined anywhere, the common symbols are treated as undefined
|
||||
references. For more details on common symbols, see the discussion of

--warn-common in @ref{Options,,Linker options,ld.info,The GNU linker}.

Initialized data.
|

The symbol is in the initialized data section.

@item G
|

The symbol is in a initialized data section for small objects. Some

such as a global int variable as opposed to a large global array.

@item I

Indirect reference.
|

The symbol is an indirect reference to another symbol. This is a GNU

extension to the a.out object file format which is rarely used.

@item N

The symbol is undefined.

@item W
|

The symbol is weak. When a weak defined symbol is linked with a normal
|

defined symbol, the normal defined symbol is used with no error. When a

weak undefined symbol is linked and the symbol is not defined, the value
|

of the weak symbol becomes zero with no error.
