This method definition yields three stabs following the code of the
method. One stab describes the method itself and following two
describe its parameters. Although there is only one formal argument
all methods have an implicit argument which is the `this' pointer.
The `this' pointer is a pointer to the object on which the method was
called. Note that the method name is mangled to encode the class name
and argument types. << Name mangling is not described by this

have an implicit argument which is the `this' pointer. The `this'
pointer is a pointer to the object on which the method was called. Note
that the method name is mangled to encode the class name and argument
types. Name mangling is described in the @sc{arm} (@cite{The Annotated
C++ Reference Manual}, by Ellis and Stroustrup, @sc{isbn}
0-201-51459-1); @file{gpcompare.texi} in Cygnus GCC distributions
describes the differences between @sc{gnu} mangling and @sc{arm}
mangling.
@c FIXME: Use @xref, especially if this is generally installed in the
@c info tree.
@c FIXME: This information should be in a net release, either of GCC or
@c GDB. But gpcompare.texi doesn't seem to be in the FSF GCC.
