C symbol table

C source code:

 

#include <stdio.h>

void sub(int x) 
{
}

void xiao() 
{
	static int x = 10;
	sub(x);
}

void yu()
{
	static int x = 20;
	sub(x);
}

int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) {
	return 0;
}

 

Run 'gcc' to compile it. Run 'nm -n' to give the following result:

 

 

...
0804a010 d x.1708
0804a014 d x.1704
...

 

Run 'objdump -S':

 

...

 80483e2:	c3                   	ret

 We can see that xiao uses 0x804a014 and yu uses 0x804a010. Now let us run 'objdump -s':

 

...
Contents of section .data:
 804a008 00000000 00000000 14000000 0a000000  ................
...

 We can that xiao's x has value 10 and yu's x has value 20.
