copied!<p>I am trying to extract debug information from a compiled C program with C#, and need to store the global variables.</p> <p>If I have the variable:</p> <pre><code>const unsigned char * volatile MyVariable; </code></pre> <p>the name of the variable will be <strong>MyVariable</strong>, and the type is <strong>unsigned char</strong>. what will be <strong>const</strong> and <strong>volatile</strong>. Are they part of the type? </p> <p>I have to represent a variable with a class and I am lost on how to construct it. This is how I have represented it right now:</p> <pre><code>public class MyVariable { public string Name; public string Type; public bool IsArray; public bool IsPointer; public bool IsConstant; public bool IsVolatile; // etc... public int Size; // in bytes } </code></pre> <p>Should I make <code>volatile</code> and <code>const</code> part of the type? What are they? Attributes?</p> <h2>Edit</h2> <p>Sorry I think I did not explained my self correctly. <strong>my question should have been how should I construct MyVariable class</strong> I know what the const keyword does to a variable and also the volatile. I use the volatile keyword when I create a variable that will be accessed by multiple threads for example. </p> <p>Anyways so based on the answers I should be constructing my class as:</p> <pre><code>public class MyVariable { public string Name; public string Type; public string[] TypeQualifiers; public int Size; // in bytes } </code></pre> <p>where TypeQualifiers will be an array of those keywords (type qualifiers). Thanks a lot for the help.</p>
