How do I add a declarator to a parameter like "char * format"? I altered
the language specification to add a "InOutopt Type Declarator", but is
there another way? The specification overall is really good, but I've
found a few missing things elsewhere, and I'm wondering if it really is
missing or I'm missing the point. :P I can't see any way to add a
parameter name to something of type Type.
The following is a parse tree for char* format:
Parameter
/ | \
/ | \
/ | \
/ BasicType \
InOut_opt | \
BasicTypeX Declarator
| / | \
'char' / Identifier \
/ | DeclaratorSuffixes_opt
/ 'format'
/
BasicType2Opt
/
BasicType2
/
'*'
I consider the grammar specification (as well as some details of what is
valid syntax) to be quite inelegant, unnecessarily repetitive and
inconvenient for parser generators, but I am not sure if a clean-up
would be welcome.
