Did a fun project some years ago.. a cdecl, but never really tested it.
Here are some test cases I just tried:
cdecl> char **argv;
cdecl> argv is pointer to pointer to char
Looks ok
cdecl> int (*daytab)[13];
cdecl> daytab is pointer to array [13] of int
Looks ok
cdecl> int *daytab[13];
cdecl> daytab is array [13] of pointer to int
Looks ok
cdecl> void *comp();
cdecl> comp is function returning pointer to void
Looks ok
cdecl> char (*(*x())[])();
cdecl> x is function returning pointer to array of pointer to function
returning char
Looks ok
cdecl> char (*(*x[3])())[5];
cdecl> x is array [3] of pointer to function returning pointer to array
[5] of char
Looks ok
cdecl> char* const *(*next)();
cdecl> next is pointer to function returning pointer to (read-only)
pointer to char
Parse error: ";" at line 255. Hint: Not a valid type.
Looks ok, except for the parse error.
cdecl> char **(c[10])(int **p);
cdecl> c is array [10] of function returning pointer to pointer to char
Looks ok
cdecl> void (*signal(int sig, void (*func)(int)))( int);
cdecl> signal is function returning pointer to void
cdecl> void (*signal(int, void (*)(int)))(int) ;
cdecl> signal is function returning pointer to void
Not ok
Did I miss something here, or do people agree with the above?
(I don't have another cdecl to cross-check with)
Does someone have ideas for more test-cases?

I don't think the version of cdecl that I have handles multiple
identifiers in a single declaration (signal and func in this case).

The version I have is very capable and featureful and supports readline
if you have it. It was written for Linux but should be easy to port to
similiar systems. You can download the source code package, which
comes with a mini test quite, at:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/dev...ecl-2.5.tar.gz.

Right, IMHO that would be useful for cdecl to handle.

Look good.
Yup, agreed.

Windows box here, which lack readline, yacc and flex!!

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/dev...ecl-2.5.tar.gz.
Took a look at the package, and it was far more advanced than my
little C utility (850 lines of yacc code vs 200 lines of C parser code).
For now, I only want to get 'explain' working with C89 (and C99).
I see one main thing for me to add then, and that is to parse/display
the argument list of functions... <g>

Hi,
I am having trouble understanding how the 'const' modifier affects the
'left-right' rule when deciphering c-declarations:
const int *x; // x is a pointer to a 'const int'
int const *x; // ??
these are the same, right? in this case the basetype is 'const int' ?
int * const x = 0; // x is a const-pointer to int

Unit testing is an integral component of both "formal" and "agile"

There are test automation tools out there but from what limited exposure

Hi, all.
I know this is not standard C, but I see the word cdecl used as a type
qualifier (?) in external declarations - including the standard
headers - and I'd like to know what it means (and how they it's used).
It is, as far as I know, an extension to std C by several compilers.
(Some use __cdecl instead, which is allowed by the standard.)
This may be off-topic on clc because it's not standard, but I believe
an extension that is...
