+<h3 class="section">4.7 Parameters</h3>
+
+<p>Formal parameters to a function are represented by a stab (or sometimes
+two; see below) for each parameter. The stabs are in the order in which
+the debugger should print the parameters (i.e., the order in which the
+parameters are declared in the source file). The exact form of the stab
+depends on how the parameter is being passed.
+</p>
+<a name="index-N_005fPSYM"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fPSYM"></a>
+<p>Parameters passed on the stack use the symbol descriptor &lsquo;<samp>p</samp>&rsquo; and
+the <code>N_PSYM</code> symbol type (or <code>C_PSYM</code> for XCOFF). The value
+of the symbol is an offset used to locate the parameter on the stack;
+its exact meaning is machine-dependent, but on most machines it is an
+offset from the frame pointer.
+</p>
+<p>As a simple example, the code:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">main (argc, argv)
+ int argc;
+ char **argv;
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>produces the stabs:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">.stabs &quot;main:F1&quot;,36,0,0,_main # <span class="roman">36 is N_FUN</span>
+.stabs &quot;argc:p1&quot;,160,0,0,68 # <span class="roman">160 is N_PSYM</span>
+.stabs &quot;argv:p20=*21=*2&quot;,160,0,0,72
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>The type definition of <code>argv</code> is interesting because it contains
+several type definitions. Type 21 is pointer to type 2 (char) and
+<code>argv</code> (type 20) is pointer to type 21.
+</p>
+<p>The following symbol descriptors are also said to go with <code>N_PSYM</code>.
+The value of the symbol is said to be an offset from the argument
+pointer (I&rsquo;m not sure whether this is true or not).
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">pP (&lt;&lt;??&gt;&gt;)
+pF Fortran function parameter
+X (function result variable)
+</pre></div>
