How addresses are stored in the symbol table under Solaris on a Sparc machine:

Symbol Table Section:  .dynsym
     index    value       size     type bind oth ver shndx       name
      [12]  0x000208d0 0x00000004  OBJT GLOB  D    0 .data       intConstant
      [18]  0x000208c8 0x00000008  OBJT GLOB  D    0 .data       floatConstant
      [16]  0x000208c0 0x00000001  OBJT GLOB  D    0 .data       charLit

The value field holds the address for the object. The floatConstant needs 8
btyes so the address for the int is 8 bytes past the floatConstant.

   208d0   int
-  208c8   float
   -----
       8 bytes 

The char only takes 1 btye, but data must be aligned on word boundaries on
Sparc thus, charLit is allocated 8 btyes.


   208c8   float
 - 208c0    char

       8 bytes
