Next: The ‘@’ Type Descriptor, Previous: Method Definition, Up: GNU C++ Stabs [Contents][Index]
This is used to describe a class method. This is a function which takes
an extra argument as its first argument, for the this pointer.
If the ‘#’ is immediately followed by another ‘#’, the second one will be followed by the return type and a semicolon. The class and argument types are not specified, and must be determined by demangling the name of the method if it is available.
Otherwise, the single ‘#’ is followed by the class type, a comma,
the return type, a comma, and zero or more parameter types separated by
commas. The list of arguments is terminated by a semicolon. In the
debugging output generated by gcc, a final argument type of void
indicates a method which does not take a variable number of arguments.
If the final argument type of void does not appear, the method
was declared with an ellipsis.
Note that although such a type will normally be used to describe fields in structures, unions, or classes, for at least some versions of the compiler it can also be used in other contexts.
