-qsymtab

Pragma equivalent

None.

Purpose

Determines the information that appears in the symbol table.

Syntax


>>- -q--symtab--=--+-unref--+----------------------------------><
                   '-static-'

Defaults

Static variables and unreferenced typedef, structure, union, and enumeration declarations are not included in the symbol table of the object file.

Parameters

unref: When used with the -g option, specifies that debugging information is included for unreferenced typedef declarations, struct, union, and enum type definitions in the symbol table of the object file. This suboption is equivalent to -qdbxextra.
Using -qsymtab=unref may make your object and executable files larger.
static: Adds user-defined, nonexternal names that have a persistent storage class, such as initialized and uninitialized static variables, to the symbol table of the object file. This suboption is equivalent to -qstatsym.

Predefined macros

None.

Examples

To compile myprogram.c so that static symbols are added to the symbol table, enter:

xlc myprogram.c -qsymtab=static

To compile myprogram.c so that unreferenced typedef, structure, union, and enumeration declarations are included in the symbol table for use with a debugger, enter:

xlc myprogram.c -g -qsymtab=unref
