/* struct symbtab_s describes one entry in the symbol table.  A symbol table
 * is a fixed size array of struct symtab_s.  The information is intentionally
 * minimal and supports only:
 *
 * 1. Function points as sym_values.  Of other kinds of values need to be
 *    supported, then typing information would also need to be included in
 *    the structure.
 *
 * 2. Fixed size arrays.  There is no explicit provisional for dyanamically
 *    adding or removing entries from the symbol table (realloc might be
 *    used for that purpose if needed).  The intention is to support only
 *    fixed size arrays completely defined at compilation or link time.
