Title: request






Dear ladies and gentleman,
There is the question about gnu STABS extensions. 


I know that from the version 2.8 gcc uses STABS type numbers in the form
(file_number, type_number).. As I  understand, all files in the module are
referred by N_BINCL and N_ESCL items which are designated by the
"file_number". Also linker must create the global file table where all types
are defined only once omitting repetitious STABS debug info. 
However, it is not clear how the linker processes debug info if the same
N_BINCL item occurs more as once. Does it use the first occurrence of data,
the last one or there is quite other approach. 


Regards,
Boris Sunik
