Otherwise if(expr) will pick up crap. I would just add two lines after "token = parse_expression(token->next, &typeof_sym->initializer);" if (!type->initializer) sparse_error(token->pos, "expected expression after the '(' token"); If there is compile error, the sparse should not continue the later stage any way. BTW, can you add a validation test case which will trigger the bug?
