You can always put a string literal inside literal array.. it will cost you just extra quotes and extra parsing effort..

Yes, but that would be a failure.  If yu ever need a string literal I'd argue you're better off just using a string literal.  But I think you could be OK. I think your hack could work for everything.  I just want a proof.

it won't parse only following declarations:

#( int foo( int arg[] ) )

but we could modify compiler to treat [ and ] inside a literal array as #'[' and #']'

:)

oops, sorry, my bad.. it actually works...

#( int foo ( int arg[] ) ) ->

#(#int #foo #(#int #arg #'[' #']'))

#( int foo ( int arg[10] ) ) ->

#(#int #foo #(#int #arg #'[' 10 #']'))

There is a bug in parser, which fails to parse literal arrays if you don't put space between function name and its arguments.

#( int foo( int arg[] ) ) - fails

#( int foo ( int arg[] ) ) - works

...

which of course could be turned into just:

#( int foo( int * arg ) )
