Dear Sirs,
I need help for a problem that seems very hard to solve for me but
probably it's a very naive question for developers of gcc.
I need a way to get a unique  integer value for any (pre-defined
or user defined) type i.e., I need some function (let's call it
c_type()) that outputs an integer type descriptor for any variable
or expression.

I hope not to disturb you too much; thank you very much for your
attenction,
