I think if you are just working on the source code transform, you should be able to skip the evaluation step which short cut the typedef. Can you try again with the same patch, but in your program, using __sparse(filename) instead of sparse(filename) to get the symbols? Using __sparse will skip the evaluation step. It should keep the typedef node unchanged. > Is it really not necessary for compilers (or frontends) to hold the > information about declarations with typedefs? The back end only care about the type, not the name of type. In fact, C type system need to evaluation the type to get ride of the alias so it will not complain type mismatch due to typedef.
