I am posting the following question to you, compiler experts. Please kindly
give me some advice.

How does C compiler extract function names from a typical C file:
         ........
         ........
	extern void funca(int a, (char*) b)
     	{
	    .....
	}
	static int funcb(a, b)
	int a;
	char* b:
	{
	    .....
	}
How do lex & yacc extract funca and funcb and assign proper function types?
I have looked at ANSI-C-grammar-l (lex) and ANSI-C-grammar-y (yacc) and I got
lost. Your advice via e-mail or posting is appreciated.
