Marvin Humphrey updated LUCY-16:
--------------------------------
Attachment: 107-arbitrary_type.t
parser_add_arbitrary_type_support.diff
Arbitrary.pm
The "arbitrary" type class is a hack that spares us from having to support C
types with complex declaration syntaxes -- such as unions, structs, enums, or
function pointers -- from within Boilerplater itself.
The only constraint is that the specifier must end in "_t". This allows us
to create complex types in a C header file...
{code:none}
typedef union { float f; int i; } floatint_t;
{code}
... pound-include the C header, then use the resulting typedef in a .bp file
and have it parse as an "arbitrary" type.
{code:none}
floatint_t floatint;
{code}
