Adding the sparse mailing list. Ryuo want to access the typedef symbol names before it get replaced with the underneath ctype.

You just call __sparse instead of sparse() to get the list of symbol without the evaluation stage. Yes it will skip the constant evaluation as well. > >> In the current code, the type evaluation will just replace the typedef >> with the destination type.

Can you give me more back ground of why you want to do this? One way come into mind is that, you can call __sparse first, then tag and mark whatever typedef you want. Then call evaluate_symbol_list() from your program to perform the evaluation stage. If that does not work, what you really need is some kind of hooks to get callback when the typedef replacement happens.
