+<h3 class="section">4.1 Automatic Variables Allocated on the Stack</h3>
+
+<p>If a variable&rsquo;s scope is local to a function and its lifetime is only as
+long as that function executes (C calls such variables
+<em>automatic</em>), it can be allocated in a register (see <a href="Register-Variables.html#Register-Variables">Register Variables</a>) or on the stack.
+</p>
+<a name="index-N_005fLSYM_002c-for-stack-variables"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fLSYM"></a>
+<p>Each variable allocated on the stack has a stab with the symbol
+descriptor omitted. Since type information should begin with a digit,
+&lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo;, or &lsquo;<samp>(</samp>&rsquo;, only those characters precluded from being used
+for symbol descriptors. However, the Acorn RISC machine (ARM) is said
+to get this wrong: it puts out a mere type definition here, without the
+preceding &lsquo;<samp><var>type-number</var>=</samp>&rsquo;. This is a bad idea; there is no
+guarantee that type descriptors are distinct from symbol descriptors.
+Stabs for stack variables use the <code>N_LSYM</code> stab type, or
+<code>C_LSYM</code> for XCOFF.
+</p>
+<p>The value of the stab is the offset of the variable within the
+local variables. On most machines this is an offset from the frame
+pointer and is negative. The location of the stab specifies which block
+it is defined in; see <a href="Block-Structure.html#Block-Structure">Block Structure</a>.
+</p>
+<p>For example, the following C code:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">int
+main ()
+{
+ int x;
+}
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>produces the following 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;x:1&quot;,128,0,0,-12 # <span class="roman">128 is N_LSYM</span>
+.stabn 192,0,0,LBB2 # <span class="roman">192 is N_LBRAC</span>
+.stabn 224,0,0,LBE2 # <span class="roman">224 is N_RBRAC</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>See <a href="Procedures.html#Procedures">Procedures</a> for more information on the <code>N_FUN</code> stab, and
+<a href="Block-Structure.html#Block-Structure">Block Structure</a> for more information on the <code>N_LBRAC</code> and
+<code>N_RBRAC</code> stabs.
