Traditional compiler listing tables

Depending on which .START and/or compiler options you’ve set, the compiler might generate one or more tables in the compiler listing at the end of each routine. The two listing tables that are currently available are as follows:

An explanation of the compiler listing table

Symbol table offsets table

If you set the symbol table offsets option (for example, -i on Windows and UNIX) when you invoke the compiler, the compiler generates a list of every symbol referenced in the preceding routine with its offsets into the symbol table. You can use these offsets to reference symbols while debugging a program that was not compiled and linked with the debug option. (If you compile and link with the debug option, you can reference the symbols by their names as opposed to their offsets.)

You can turn the listing of this table on and off with the [NO]OFFSETS option of the .START compiler directive. See .START for more information about the .START options.

If a symbol is a member of a group or a named data structure (as “AVAR” is in the second table in Sample listing tables), the path to that symbol is also listed in the table. Also notice the “(GRP.)” next to the entry for “FLD1” in the first table.

Memory usage summary table

The compiler generates a memory usage summary table at the end of each routine when you set the memory compiler option (for example, -m on Windows and UNIX). The memory usage summary table lists the size (in bytes) of each program component. The size is represented as a hexadecimal number.

You can turn the listing of this table on and off with the [NO]summary option of the .START compiler directive. See .START for more information about the .START options.
