I'm trying to parse C using yacc but I've hit a problem with
typedefs. Normally the lexer checks each identifier to see if it
is in the symbol table as a typedef-name. However I do not wish
to process the include files so I do not know which identifiers
are typedef-names. How can I make the yacc grammar cope with
declarations such as this:


FILE *fp;


I'm only trying to make some tools to manipulate indenting, alter
the names of global variables and such. It does not have to be
100% accurate.


Can anybody help?
