22 /* Create a new "decl" in GCC. A decl is a declaration, basically a
23 kind of symbol.
25 NAME is the name of the new symbol. SYM_KIND is the kind of
26 symbol being requested. SYM_TYPE is the new symbol's C type;
27 except for labels, where this is not meaningful and should be
28 zero. If SUBSTITUTION_NAME is not NULL, then a reference to this
29 decl in the source will later be substituted with a dereference
30 of a variable of the given name. Otherwise, for symbols having
31 an address (e.g., functions), ADDRESS is the address. FILENAME
32 and LINE_NUMBER refer to the symbol's source location. If this
33 is not known, FILENAME can be NULL and LINE_NUMBER can be 0.
