[jira] Updated: (LUCY-16) Boilerplater::Type::Arbitrary

Posted by "Marvin Humphrey (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCY-16?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Marvin Humphrey updated LUCY-16:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: 107-arbitrary_type.t
                parser_add_arbitrary_type_support.diff
                Arbitrary.pm

The "arbitrary" type class is a hack that spares us from having to support C
types with complex declaration syntaxes -- such as unions, structs, enums, or
function pointers -- from within Boilerplater itself.

The only constraint is that the specifier must end in "_t".  This allows us
to create complex types in a C header file...

{code:none}
    typedef union { float f; int i; } floatint_t;
{code}

... pound-include the C header, then use the resulting typedef in a .bp file
and have it parse as an "arbitrary" type.

{code:none}
    floatint_t floatint;
{code}
