[GCC-XML] 2 newbie questions about "pseudo"

[John Morrison]

Hi;

Ah, everything is more complicated than it looks.  Geez but C++ sucks
(in terms of complexity).

While the TYPE (in this case an enumeration) is artificial...

  <Enumeration id="_5460" name="_Ios_Fmtflags" context="_2" location="f402:55" 
file="f402" line="55" artificial="1" size="32" align="32">
    <EnumValue name="_M_ios_fmtflags_end" init="65536"/>
  </Enumeration>

...it turns out the variable...

  <Variable id="_21381" name="boolalpha" type="_5460c" 
init="(std::_Ios_Fmtflags)1" context="_5776" 
mangled="_ZNSt8ios_base9boolalphaE" location="f402:214" file="f402" 
line="214" extern="1"/>

...is neither artificial nor attributed to line=0.  Its demangled name
is...

[jm at jmorrison xml]$ c++filt
_ZNSt8ios_base9boolalphaE
std::ios_base::boolalpha
[jm at jmorrison xml]$

...and my parser is not Smart Enough to avoid spitting out the
variable declaration for a filtered-out type.

Suggestions?  (Hey, keep them clean!  Google will find your responses!
:-)

Thanks again, guys,
