I don't understand why tha parsing part have changed so much since v1.

or because something related to handling it inside structs and unions or
for some other reason?
If because of the NS_TYPEDEF thing, sorry if I wasn't clear but I really think
it was fine, just that at first sight I found it strange.
If because the structs & unions, please explain why is it needed, what was wrong
with v1 and is fine now.

This succeed but
struct s2 {
char c;
_Static_assert(sizeof(struct s2) == 1, "struct sizeof");
char d;
_Static_assert(sizeof(struct s2) == 2, "struct sizeof");
};
succeed also wich seems certainly very odd.
However it's not a problem with your patch but because of:
1) sparse is fine with the evaluation of sizeof(struct ...) while the struct
is not yet completed (which is maybe usefull but certainly can also be
considered as a bug)
2) those assertions are evaluated at parse time and not at some later time.
My first thought was that we really should move the checking of those
assertions at a later time, maybe after linearization and by introducing
a new operation for it (like OP_ASSERT or so).
But this is not a solution for the assertions inside structs & unions.
I'll add a separate test case showing the problem and it's probably better
to not put this test in your test cases.
