I have been writing compilers for some time now, but one thing that
always seems to bug me is parsing of C and C++ declarations. Perhaps
it's not the parsing that I have the problem with, more the
representation of the declaration afterwards. In a current project I
am representing declarations as a list of either specifiers or
declarators. However, this leads to problems and holes in type
comparisons and conversion. I was wondering if any of you knew of an
elegent way of representing this information.


Perhaps I'm doing it all wrong. It would be a shame.


Yours,
Blake.
