+<h3 class="section">4.5 Static Variables</h3>
+
+<p>Initialized static variables are represented by the &lsquo;<samp>S</samp>&rsquo; and
+&lsquo;<samp>V</samp>&rsquo; symbol descriptors. &lsquo;<samp>S</samp>&rsquo; means file scope static, and
+&lsquo;<samp>V</samp>&rsquo; means procedure scope static. One exception: in XCOFF, IBM&rsquo;s
+xlc compiler always uses &lsquo;<samp>V</samp>&rsquo;, and whether it is file scope or not
+is distinguished by whether the stab is located within a function.
+</p>
+<a name="index-N_005fSTSYM"></a>
+<a name="index-N_005fLCSYM"></a>
+<a name="index-N_005fFUN_002c-for-variables"></a>
+<a name="index-N_005fROSYM"></a>
+<p>In a.out files, <code>N_STSYM</code> means the data section, <code>N_FUN</code>
+means the text section, and <code>N_LCSYM</code> means the bss section. For
+those systems with a read-only data section separate from the text
+section (Solaris), <code>N_ROSYM</code> means the read-only data section.
+</p>
+<p>For example, the source lines:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">static const int var_const = 5;
+static int var_init = 2;
+static int var_noinit;
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>yield the following stabs:
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<pre class="example">.stabs &quot;var_const:S1&quot;,36,0,0,_var_const # <span class="roman">36 is N_FUN</span>
+&hellip;
+.stabs &quot;var_init:S1&quot;,38,0,0,_var_init # <span class="roman">38 is N_STSYM</span>
+&hellip;
+.stabs &quot;var_noinit:S1&quot;,40,0,0,_var_noinit # <span class="roman">40 is N_LCSYM</span>
+</pre></div>
+
+<a name="index-C_005fSTSYM"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fBSTAT"></a>
+<a name="index-C_005fESTAT"></a>
+<p>In XCOFF files, the stab type need not indicate the section;
+<code>C_STSYM</code> can be used for all statics. Also, each static variable
+is enclosed in a static block. A <code>C_BSTAT</code> (emitted with a
+&lsquo;<samp>.bs</samp>&rsquo; assembler directive) symbol begins the static block; its
+value is the symbol number of the csect symbol whose value is the
+address of the static block, its section is the section of the variables
+in that static block, and its name is &lsquo;<samp>.bs</samp>&rsquo;. A <code>C_ESTAT</code>
+(emitted with a &lsquo;<samp>.es</samp>&rsquo; assembler directive) symbol ends the static
+block; its name is &lsquo;<samp>.es</samp>&rsquo; and its value and section are ignored.
+</p>
+<p>In ECOFF files, the storage class is used to specify the section, so the
+stab type need not indicate the section.
+</p>
+<p>In ELF files, for the SunPRO compiler version 2.0.1, symbol descriptor
+&lsquo;<samp>S</samp>&rsquo; means that the address is absolute (the linker relocates it)
+and symbol descriptor &lsquo;<samp>V</samp>&rsquo; means that the address is relative to the
+start of the relevant section for that compilation unit. SunPRO has
+plans to have the linker stop relocating stabs; I suspect that their the
+debugger gets the address from the corresponding ELF (not stab) symbol.
+I&rsquo;m not sure how to find which symbol of that name is the right one.
+The clean way to do all this would be to have the value of a symbol
+descriptor &lsquo;<samp>S</samp>&rsquo; symbol be an offset relative to the start of the
+file, just like everything else, but that introduces obvious
+compatibility problems. For more information on linker stab relocation,
+See <a href="ELF-Linker-Relocation.html#ELF-Linker-Relocation">ELF Linker Relocation</a>.
