+<h3 class="section">4.6 Fortran Based Variables</h3>
+
+<p>Fortran (at least, the Sun and SGI dialects of FORTRAN-77) has a feature
+which allows allocating arrays with <code>malloc</code>, but which avoids
+blurring the line between arrays and pointers the way that C does. In
+stabs such a variable uses the &lsquo;<samp>b</samp>&rsquo; symbol descriptor.
+</p>
+<p>For example, the Fortran declarations
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">real foo, foo10(10), foo10_5(10,5)
+pointer (foop, foo)
+pointer (foo10p, foo10)
+pointer (foo105p, foo10_5)
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>produce the stabs
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">foo:b6
+foo10:bar3;1;10;6
+foo10_5:bar3;1;5;ar3;1;10;6
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>In this example, <code>real</code> is type 6 and type 3 is an integral type
+which is the type of the subscripts of the array (probably
+<code>integer</code>).
+</p>
+<p>The &lsquo;<samp>b</samp>&rsquo; symbol descriptor is like &lsquo;<samp>V</samp>&rsquo; in that it denotes a
+statically allocated symbol whose scope is local to a function; see
+See <a href="Statics.html#Statics">Statics</a>. The value of the symbol, instead of being the address
+of the variable itself, is the address of a pointer to that variable.
+So in the above example, the value of the <code>foo</code> stab is the address
+of a pointer to a real, the value of the <code>foo10</code> stab is the
+address of a pointer to a 10-element array of reals, and the value of
+the <code>foo10_5</code> stab is the address of a pointer to a 5-element array
+of 10-element arrays of reals.
+</p>
