Pascal patch n°6:
In stabsread.c (define_symbol): there is some strange code to avoid
putting a name to a
type struct if it is a pointer or a function type. line 1936.
The forbids to get pascal types that are pointers to be printed out
correctly.
Anyhow, I don't really understand the comment that is associated with this
code and I was wondering if it was not totally obsolete code.
Are named pointer type also allow in other languages?
ChangeLog entry :
2000-09-04 Pierre Muller <muller@ics.u-strasbg.fr>
* stabsread.c (define_symbol): set the type_name of the type
of the new symbol to the symbol name for type symbol.
