  65. <p>For any of the symbol descriptors representing procedures, after the
  66. symbol descriptor and the type information is optionally a scope
  67. specifier. This consists of a comma, the name of the procedure, another
  68. comma, and the name of the enclosing procedure. The first name is local
  69. to the scope specified, and seems to be redundant with the name of the
  70. symbol (before the &lsquo;<samp>:</samp>&rsquo;). This feature is used by GCC, and
  71. presumably Pascal, Modula-2, etc., compilers, for nested functions.
  72. </p>
  73. <p>If procedures are nested more than one level deep, only the immediately
  74. containing scope is specified. For example, this code:
  75. </p>
  76. <div class="example">
  77. <pre class="example">int
  78. foo (int x)
  79. {
  80. int bar (int y)
  81. {
  82. int baz (int z)
  83. {
  84. return x + y + z;
  85. }
  86. return baz (x + 2 * y);
  87. }
  88. return x + bar (3 * x);
  89. }
  90. </pre></div>
  91. <p>produces the stabs:
  92. </p>
  93. <div class="example">
  94. <pre class="example">.stabs &quot;baz:f1,baz,bar&quot;,36,0,0,_baz.15 # <span class="roman">36 is N_FUN</span>
  95. .stabs &quot;bar:f1,bar,foo&quot;,36,0,0,_bar.12
  96. .stabs &quot;foo:F1&quot;,36,0,0,_foo
