@item S @var{type-information} , @var{elements} , @var{bits} , @var{pattern}
Set constant. @var{type-information} is the type of the constant, as it
would appear after a symbol descriptor (@pxref{Stabs Format}).
@var{elements} is the number of elements in the set (is this just the
number of bits set in @var{pattern}? Or redundant with the type? I
don't get it), @var{bits} is the number of bits in the constant (meaning
it specifies the length of @var{pattern}, I think), and @var{pattern} is
a hexadecimal representation of the set. AIX documentation refers to a
limit of 32 bytes, but I see no reason why this limit should exist.
This form could probably be used for arbitrary constants, not just sets;
the only catch is that @var{pattern} should be understood to be target,
not host, byte order and format.
