With this change dissect can know the scope of SYM_STRUCT/UNION/ENUM,
see the next patch.

Note that MOD_TOPLEVEL can be set even if struct/union/enum type is
private and bind_symbol() is not called.

IIUC nobody else looks at SYM_STRUCT->ctype.modifiers, "make check"
doesn't show any difference.

I don't like that very much. For example: why this is needed for
struct/union/enum and not other types?
Should it be possible to use the function toplevel() or add and
helper for it in scope.c?

Yes, it's true and it shouldn't make any difference but still I
would prefer to not mix symbols and types more than they already are.

Do you mean builtin types like int_ctype? OK, I agree, this is slightly
inconsistent.

Well, toplevel() won't work if SYM_STRUCT/etc is anonymous, in this
case bind_symbol() is not called and thus sym->scope = NULL.

Consider

	struct { int m; } x;

	void func(void)
	{
		struct { int m; } x;

	}

we want to report the 2nd struct definition as "local"

   1:8                    def   s :x
   1:14                   def   m :x.m                             int
   1:19                   def   v x                                struct :x
   3:6                    def   f func                             void ( ... )
   5:16  func             def . s :x
   5:22  func             def . m :x.m                             int
   5:27  func             def . v x                                struct :x

so that this spam can be filtered out, but base->scope is NULL in both
cases.

OK, will you agree with one-liner below? This should make toplevel() work.

Oleg.

I was thinking of the other constructed types: arrays & pointers.

OK, I see.

This will still be inconsistent with the other types but I can live
with this. If you could just add a comment explaining why it is needed
and using an helper instead of directly using 'block_scope' (like
set_[current_]scope() or something).
