Creating a variable declaration of custom type.

["Ferad Zyulkyarov" <feradz at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

When the code is being parsed in c-parser.c I try to transparently
create a variable declaration of custom type within the code being
compiled. The name of the custom type is "MyType" (defined in some
header file by typedef).

In my source file I have a function:

void foo()
{
...;
}

At the time of parsing I want to make declaration as if the function
above is written like that:

void foo()
{
  MyType *t;
...;
}

The code that I use to do it is as follows:

tree type_id, type_node, var_decl;

type_id = get_identifier("MyType");
type_node = make_node(POINTER_TYPE);
TYPE_NAME(type_node) = type_id;
var_decl = build(VAR_DECL, get_identifier("t"), type_node);

But, when I compile my source with the modified GCC (as above) I get
an error: "t" has an incomplete type. I know that I miss something but
I cannot figure out what is it.

Your help will be appreciated very much. Thanks a lot.
