+
+<a name="index-N_005fLBRAC"></a>
+<a name="index-N_005fRBRAC"></a>
+<p>The program&rsquo;s block structure is represented by the <code>N_LBRAC</code> (left
+brace) and the <code>N_RBRAC</code> (right brace) stab types. The variables
+defined inside a block precede the <code>N_LBRAC</code> symbol for most
+compilers, including GCC. Other compilers, such as the Convex, Acorn
+RISC machine, and Sun <code>acc</code> compilers, put the variables after the
+<code>N_LBRAC</code> symbol. The values of the <code>N_LBRAC</code> and
+<code>N_RBRAC</code> symbols are the start and end addresses of the code of
+the block, respectively. For most machines, they are relative to the
+starting address of this source file. For the Gould NP1, they are
+absolute. For stabs in sections (see <a href="Stab-Sections.html#Stab-Sections">Stab Sections</a>), they are
+relative to the function in which they occur.
+</p>
+<p>The <code>N_LBRAC</code> and <code>N_RBRAC</code> stabs that describe the block
+scope of a procedure are located after the <code>N_FUN</code> stab that
+represents the procedure itself.
+</p>
+<p>Sun documents the desc field of <code>N_LBRAC</code> and
+<code>N_RBRAC</code> symbols as containing the nesting level of the block.
+However, dbx seems to not care, and GCC always sets desc to
+zero.

+<a name="index-C_005fBLOCK"></a>
+<p>For XCOFF, block scope is indicated with <code>C_BLOCK</code> symbols. If the
+name of the symbol is &lsquo;<samp>.bb</samp>&rsquo;, then it is the beginning of the block;
+if the name of the symbol is &lsquo;<samp>.be</samp>&rsquo;; it is the end of the block.
