NAME

linenum − line number entries in a MIPS object file

DESCRIPTION

The cc(1) command generates an entry in the object file for each C source line on which a breakpoint is possible [when invoked with the −g option; see cc(1)]. Users can then reference line numbers when using the appropriate software test system [see dbx(1)]. The structure of these line number entries is described in the RISC NEWS Assembly Language Programmer’s Guide, Chapter 11, in the section entitled “Line Numbers” under that section “Format of Symbol Table Entries”.
