at the lexical analysis stage not at the syntax parsing stage. The upshot
is that:
if (expr) {
stmt1;
}
/* LINTED */
stmt2;
stmt2 is the look-ahead token for the parser to choose between and if-then-else
statement as opposed to an if-then statement. Unfortunately the side effect
is that the LINTED directive gets reset before stmt2 gets parsed. We fix this,
by remembering the the linted directive during the if statement parsing and
restoring it at the appropriate time.
variable declaration, in addition to within function & variable
declarations and function bodies. I think this comes close enough
to what gcc does to be considered "correct enough." Certainly, it
fixes the problem for the couple of cases where this is a problem
in our tree.
global or local declaration/definition/statement. Originally they were
valid on the current and next line, which made it hard to suppress
warnings in constructs with more then one line.
LONGLONG can now be used to suppress errors or warnings in the next
declaration, definition or statement.
asm statements consist of an asm keyword, an optional qualifier, a
left paren, a list of tokens up to and including the matching right
paren, and a semicolon.
asm modifiers consist of an asm keyword, an left paren, a string and a
right paren.
asm statements and modifiers have no semantic for lint(1), they exist only
to avoid complaints about them.
