The following is an example of the symbol cross-reference for the hello.s assembly program:
Symbol File CSECT Line #
.main hello.s -- 22 .main hello.s .main 28 * .main hello.s -- 29 .main hello.s .main 43 * .printf hello.s -- 76 .printf hello.s -- 104 T.data hello.s data 17 * T.data hello.s data 69 T.hello hello.s .main 28 * TOC hello.s TOC 23 _helloworld hello.s -- 74 _helloworld hello.s data 113 * argarea hello.s -- 35 * argarea hello.s -- 40 data hello.s -- 17 data hello.s data 17 * data hello.s data 111 * linkarea hello.s -- 36 * linkarea hello.s -- 40 locstckarea hello.s -- 37 * locstckarea hello.s -- 40 main hello.s -- 18 main hello.s main 21 * main hello.s main 28 nfprs hello.s -- 39 * nfprs hello.s -- 40 nfprs hello.s -- 59 nfprs hello.s -- 90 ngprs hello.s -- 38 * ngprs hello.s -- 40 ngprs hello.s -- 59 ngprs hello.s -- 90 szdsa hello.s -- 40 * szdsa hello.s -- 64 szdsa hello.s -- 82 szdsa hello.s -- 88
The first column lists the symbol names that appear in the source program. The second column lists the source file name in which the symbols are located. The third column lists the csect names in which the symbols are defined or located.
In the column listing the csect names, a -- (double dash) means one of the following:
The fourth column lists the line number in which the symbol is located. An * (asterisk) after the line number indicates that the symbol is defined in this line. If there is no asterisk after the line number, the symbol is referenced in the line.
