Abstract
A single copy of symbolic debug information is generated and given a name. The name is derived from the name of the High Level Language construct for which symbolic debug information must be generated. All references to the symbolic debug information are through that name. Standard linker technology is used to connect the references to the single named copy. How to identify a single source module to contain particular symbolic debug information is also disclosed.
