// stabs_reader.h: Define StabsReader, a parser for STABS debugging
// information. A description of the STABS debugging format can be
// found at:
//
//    http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/stabs_toc.html
//
// The comments here assume you understand the format.
//
// This parser can handle big-endian and little-endian data, and the symbol
// values may be either 32 or 64 bits long. It handles both STABS in
// sections (as used on Linux) and STABS appearing directly in an
// a.out-like symbol table (as used in Darwin OS X Mach-O files).

  // Processing proceeds until the end of the .stabs section, or until
  // one of these functions returns false.

  // The addresses given are as reported in the STABS info, without
  // regard for whether the module may be loaded at different
  // addresses at different times (a shared library, say).  When
  // processing STABS from an ELF shared library, the addresses given
  // all assume the library is loaded at its nominal load address.
  // They are *not* offsets from the nominal load address.  If you
  // want offsets, you must subtract off the library's nominal load
  // address.

  // The arguments to these functions named FILENAME are all
  // references to strings stored in the .stabstr section.  Because
  // both the Linux and Solaris linkers factor out duplicate strings
  // from the .stabstr section, the consumer can assume that if two
  // FILENAME values are different addresses, they represent different
  // file names.
  //
  // Thus, it's safe to use (say) std::map<char *, ...>, which does
  // string address comparisons, not string content comparisons.
  // Since all the strings are in same array of characters --- the
  // .stabstr section --- comparing their addresses produces
  // predictable, if not lexicographically meaningful, results.
