+
+<ul>
+<li> For GNU C stabs defining local and global variables (<code>N_LSYM</code> and
+<code>N_GSYM</code>), the desc field is supposed to contain the source
+line number on which the variable is defined. In reality the desc
+field is always 0. (This behavior is defined in <samp>dbxout.c</samp> and
+putting a line number in desc is controlled by &lsquo;<samp>#ifdef
+WINNING_GDB</samp>&rsquo;, which defaults to false). GDB supposedly uses this
+information if you say &lsquo;<samp>list <var>var</var></samp>&rsquo;. In reality, <var>var</var> can
+be a variable defined in the program and GDB says &lsquo;<samp>function
+<var>var</var> not defined</samp>&rsquo;.
+
+</li><li> In GNU C stabs, there seems to be no way to differentiate tag types:
+structures, unions, and enums (symbol descriptor &lsquo;<samp>T</samp>&rsquo;) and typedefs
+(symbol descriptor &lsquo;<samp>t</samp>&rsquo;) defined at file scope from types defined locally
+to a procedure or other more local scope. They all use the <code>N_LSYM</code>
+stab type. Types defined at procedure scope are emitted after the
+<code>N_RBRAC</code> of the preceding function and before the code of the
+procedure in which they are defined. This is exactly the same as
+types defined in the source file between the two procedure bodies.
+GDB over-compensates by placing all types in block #1, the block for
+symbols of file scope. This is true for default, &lsquo;<samp>-ansi</samp>&rsquo; and
+&lsquo;<samp>-traditional</samp>&rsquo; compiler options. (Bugs gcc/1063, gdb/1066.)
+
+</li><li> What ends the procedure scope? Is it the proc block&rsquo;s <code>N_RBRAC</code> or the
+next <code>N_FUN</code>? (I believe its the first.)
+</li></ul>
