[fpc-devel] DEBUGSTART_, DEBUGINFO_ and DEBUGEND_ symbols

[Marc Weustink]

hi,

while adding sourceline info to the Lazarus disassembler output I ran 
into the DEBUGSTART_<unitnamehere>, DEBUGINFO_<unitnamehere> and 
DEBUGEND_<unitnamehere> symbols.
What I wonder is why DEBUGSTART and DEBUGEND are reported as functions, 
while DEBUGINFO is reported as datavariable (fpc 2.2.4, stabs).

(gdb) ptype DEBUGSTART_UNIT1
type = function   : int
(gdb) ptype DEBUGINFO_UNIT1
type = <data variable, no debug info>
(gdb) ptype DEBUGEND_UNIT1
type = function   : int
