+<h3 class="section">4.4 Common Blocks</h3>
+
+<p>A common block is a statically allocated section of memory which can be
+referred to by several source files. It may contain several variables.
+I believe Fortran is the only language with this feature.
+</p>
+<a name="index-N_005fBCOMM"></a>
+<a name="index-N_005fECOMM"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fBCOMM"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fECOMM"></a>
+<p>A <code>N_BCOMM</code> stab begins a common block and an <code>N_ECOMM</code> stab
+ends it. The only field that is significant in these two stabs is the
+string, which names a normal (non-debugging) symbol that gives the
+address of the common block. According to IBM documentation, only the
+<code>N_BCOMM</code> has the name of the common block (even though their
+compiler actually puts it both places).
+</p>
+<a name="index-N_005fECOML"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fECOML"></a>
+<p>The stabs for the members of the common block are between the
+<code>N_BCOMM</code> and the <code>N_ECOMM</code>; the value of each stab is the
+offset within the common block of that variable. IBM uses the
+<code>C_ECOML</code> stab type, and there is a corresponding <code>N_ECOML</code>
+stab type, but Sun&rsquo;s Fortran compiler uses <code>N_GSYM</code> instead. The
+variables within a common block use the &lsquo;<samp>V</samp>&rsquo; symbol descriptor (I
+believe this is true of all Fortran variables). Other stabs (at least
+type declarations using <code>C_DECL</code>) can also be between the
+<code>N_BCOMM</code> and the <code>N_ECOMM</code>.
