This approach is making sense to me, but I've run into a bit of a
dependency issue. A_Const does indeed have a slot for typecasts by
way of a TypeName member. A_Const and TypeName are both defined in
parsenodes.h, whereas ArrayExpr is defined in primnodes.h. So
unfortunately I can't just add a TypeName member to ArrayExpr.
I'm new to this area of the codebase (and parsers generally), so I'm
treading carefully. What would be the best way to resolve this?
Would moving TypeName into primnodes.h be acceptable?
Thanks for your time,
BJ
