/* PROGRAM PARSER */
/* The presence of typedef declarations renders it impossible to
make a context-free grammar of C. Consequently we need
context-sensitive parsing techniques, the simplest one being
a subtle cooperation between the parser and the lexical scanner.
The lexical scanner has to know whether to return IDENTIFIER
or TYPE_IDENTIFIER for a given tag, and it obtains this information
from the definition list, as constructed by the parser.
The present grammar is essentially LL(2), and is processed by
a parser generator which accepts LL(1) with tie breaking rules
in C, of the form %if(cond) and %while(cond). To solve the LL(1)
ambiguities, the lexical scanner does a one symbol look-ahead.
This symbol, however, cannot always be correctly assessed, since
the present symbol may cause a change in the definition list
which causes the identification of the look-ahead symbol to be
invalidated.
The lexical scanner relies on the parser (or its routines) to
detect this situation and then update the look-ahead symbol.
An alternative approach would be to reassess the look-ahead symbol
in the lexical scanner when it is promoted to dot symbol. This
would be more beautiful but less correct, since then for a short
while there would be a discrepancy between the look-ahead symbol
and the definition list; I think it would nevertheless work in
correct programs.
A third solution would be to enter the identifier as soon as it
is found; its storage class is then known, although its full type
isn't. We would have to fill that in afterwards.
At block exit the situation is even worse. Upon reading the
closing brace, the names declared inside the function are cleared
from the name list. This action may expose a type identifier that
is the same as the identifier in the look-ahead symbol. This
situation certainly invalidates the third solution, and casts
doubts upon the second.

/* A C identifier definition is remarkable in that it formulates
the declaration in a way different from most other languages:
e.g., rather than defining x as a pointer-to-integer, it defines
*x as an integer and lets the compiler deduce that x is actually
pointer-to-integer. This has profound consequences, both for the
structure of an identifier definition and for the compiler.
A definition starts with a decl_specifiers, which contains things
like
typedef int
which is implicitly repeated for every definition in the list, and
then for each identifier a declarator is given, of the form
*a()
or so. The decl_specifiers is kept in a struct decspecs, to be
used again and again, while the declarator is stored in a struct
declarator, only to be passed to declare_idf together with the
struct decspecs.
With the introduction of prototypes, extra problems for the scope
administration were introduced as well. We can have, for example,
int x(double x);
and
int x(double x) { ... use(x) ... }
In the first case, the parameter name can be forgotten, whereas in
the second case, the parameter should have a block scope. The
problem lies in the fact that the parameter's type is known before
the type of the function, which causes the def structure to be on
the end of the list. Our solution is as follows:
1- In case of a declaration, throw the parameter identifier away
before the declaration of the outer x.
2- In case of a definition, the function begin_proc() changes the
def list for the identifier. This means that declare_idf()
contains an extra test in case we already saw a declaration of
such a function, because this function is called before
begin_proc().
