debug information

When compiling a C program (by Borland c++ ver 3.0), using the option -S,  I get an asm file which includes several lines similar to the following:
?debug      C E94B79902E064B4B2E435050
I know that it is for the debugger but what is its exact meaning ?  I would like to get a profound explanation.

The format of debug info is different for each compiler/debugger combo.
You'd have to ask Borland about that.

Basically it's got to contain the variable name and some pointer into a type-definition table

grg99 is right ... but if you are keen, you may get some information here... this is the source for recognizing the debugging information
