Symbols for the back end

Compiler implementation of the D programming language.

Functions

Name	Description
`baseclass_find(bm, sbase)`	Look down baseclass list to find sbase.
`baseclass_nitems(b)`	Calculate number of baseclasses in list.
`freesymtab(stab, n1, n2)`	Free up the symbols stab[n1 .. n2]
`meminit_free(m)`	Delete symbol from symbol table, taking care to delete all children of a symbol. Make sure there are no more forward references (labels, tags).
`symbol_add(s)`	Add symbol to current symbol array.
`symbol_calloc(id)`	Create a new symbol.
`symbol_copy(s)`	Create a copy of a symbol.
`symbol_func(s)`	Add in the variants for a function symbol.
`symbol_funcalias(sf)`	Create a symbol that is an alias to another function symbol.
`symbol_genauto(t)`	Generate an auto symbol, and add it to the symbol table.
`symbol_genauto(e)`	Generate symbol into which we can copy the contents of expression e.
`symbol_generate(sclass, t)`	Create a symbol, give it a name, storage class and type.
`symbol_ident(s)`	Get user name of symbol.
`symbol_insert(symtab, s, n)`	Insert s into symtab at position n.
`Symbol_isAffected(s)`	Determine if `s` may be affected if an assignment is done through a pointer.
`symbol_name(name, sclass, t)`	Create a symbol, given a name and type.
`Symbol_needThis(s)`	Determine if symbol needs a 'this' pointer.
`symbol_pointerType(s)`	Determine pointer type needed to access a Symbol, essentially what type an OPrelconst should get for that Symbol.
`symbol_print(s)`	Type out symbol information.
`symbol_reset(s)`	Reset Symbol so that it's now an "extern" to the next obj file being created.
`Symbol_Salignsize(s)`	Return alignment of symbol.
`Symbol_Sisdead(s, anyInlineAsm)`	Aver if Symbol is not only merely dead, but really most sincerely dead.
`symbol_struct_addBaseClass(s, t, offset)`	Add a base class to a struct s.
`symbol_struct_addBitField(s, name, t, offset, fieldWidth, bitOffset)`	Add a bit field to a struct s.
`symbol_struct_addField(s, name, t, offset)`	Add a field to a struct s.
`symbol_struct_hasBitFields(s)`	Mark struct s as having bit fields
