I take a look at the current code base, there is no good way to get the typedef from the symbol node. When sparse parse the "INT" token. It will try to lookup it as type define. If it is, sparse directly apply the underlying ctype, which is "signed short", to var1. The code does that is in declaration_specifiers() if you are curious. Sparse only use the base type of the user type, as if the declaration is "signed short var1". This make the later process much easier. It is none trivial change to preserve the type define name. May I ask more back ground information what do you want to do with the type define name? I am trying to find out if there is other easier way to achieve your goal.
