The AIX/RS6000 native object file format is XCOFF with stabs. This appendix only covers those differences which are not covered in the main body of this document.
N_stabtype becomes C_stabtype.
Some stab types in a.out are not supported in XCOFF; most of these use
C_DECL.
N_FUN (C_FUN) then follow the
string field with `,.' instead of just `,'.
I think that's it for `.s' file differences. They could stand to be better presented. This is just a list of what I have noticed so far. There are a lot of differences in the information in the symbol tables of the executable and object files.
Mapping of a.out stab types to XCOFF storage classes:
