While using Lex(1), I have noticed the following:

If you make a declaration of the form

------------------------------------------------------------------------
extern decls
%%
   struct ident {
      char name[32];
      .
      .
      .
      struct ident *link;
   } struct ident *header;
rules     actions
%%
Whatever else is needed.
EOF
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lex(1) will generate a C program with the folowing in it.




------------------------------------------------------------------------
exern decls
   struct ident {
      char name[32];
      .
      .
      .
      struct ident *link;
   }
+the rest of the standard Lex(1) program.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
What happens to the "struct ident *header;" portion of the declaration?

     If anybody has had the same problem please post your experiences.
