no way to look up a struct by tag #68

Open davidmalcolm opened 7 years ago

I could not find a way to look up a structure type by tag. E.g., I wanted to look up 'struct buffer'. I could do this by introducing typedefs, but I'd rather not have to do that.

(oops; added this to ticket #26 by mistake)

I added an example of extracting them in bd03e3b0845fa785330af3916f4253d505a9fa16

However, it looks like gcc.Block.vars is misnamed; it corresponds to: {{{

define BLOCK_VARS(NODE) (BLOCK_CHECK (NODE)->block.vars)

}}} from tree.h, but this seems to contain all declarations, not just variables (but see ticket #21).

I'm inclined to rename it to "decls" - does this sound sane?

Thanks for adding the example.

I think renaming this attribute would be fine.
