4 Variables

Different types of stabs describe the various ways that variables can be allocated: on the stack, globally, in registers, in common blocks, statically, or as arguments to a function.

• Stack Variables:    Variables allocated on the stack.
• Global Variables:    Variables used by more than one source file.
• Register Variables:    Variables in registers.
• Common Blocks:    Variables statically allocated together.
• Statics:    Variables local to one source file.
• Based Variables:    Fortran pointer based variables.
• Parameters:    Variables for arguments to functions.
