Speaking of typedefs and macros -- is there any way to get the
functionality of the GNU C extension "typeof" in ANSI or UNIX
style C? I would settle for being able to declare a variable x
as having the same type as variable y where, due to the fact that
the code is machine generated, it isn't simple to say what type
that variable y has.
