Is there anybody out there who can help me with this problem ?

My problem is to do with my Final Year Project which involves writing a
Unix-style compiler for the Sun 3/50. The trouble is the assembler has a
'.stabs' directive which is used by the compilers to generate symbol table
entries for debugging purposes (dbx). I would really like to do the same,
however, the standard documentation does not explain how to use it.  I
have tried studying the manual for a.out and the header file a.out.h and
stab.h but they do not give all the information required.

I also could do with any information regarding the internal aspects of the
Pascal and c compilers such as register usage, stack frame layout, etc.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Please email at address
below.

Thanks
Deryck Brown
