Ideally it would be derived from 'var', the actual symbol in the code
identifying the variable.  This may seem like a non-issue if it is not
clear that the use-case is a macro that fills out a data structure
describing the program symbol, and as I explained in another message
the ability to extract type information (integer, signedness) would be
additionally helpful.  However I eventually solve the problem, it is
clear there will be a data structure describing variables of interest,
all of which will be stored in a run-time dictionary.

If I were writing a C interpreter you might imagine that the
information I seek would be readily available to the interpreter.  I
merely wish to compile the same sort of information on conventional C
variables.  As an aside, it occurs to me that any variables or data
structures identified in this way would have to be declared volatile
to avoid unexpected data corruption.

Steve Thompson
