# pycparser: cdecl.py
#
# Example of the CDECL tool using pycparser. CDECL "explains"
# C type declarations in plain English.
#
# The AST generated by pycparser from the given declaration is
# traversed recursively to build the explanation.
# Note that the declaration must be a valid external declaration
# in C. All the types used in it must be defined with typedef,
# or parsing will fail. The definition can be arbitrary, it isn't
# really used - by pycparser must know which tokens are types.
#
# For example:
#
# 'typedef int Node; const Node* (*ar)[10];'
# =>
# ar is a pointer to array[10] of pointer to const Node
