ccmode: Brace List Symbols

 
 10.2.5 Brace List Symbols
 -------------------------
 
 There are a set of syntactic symbols that are used to recognize
 constructs inside of brace lists.  A brace list is defined as an ‘enum’
 or aggregate initializer list, such as might statically initialize an
 array of structs.  The three special aggregate constructs in Pike, ‘({
 })’, ‘([ ])’ and ‘(< >)’, are treated as brace lists too.  An example:
 
       1: static char* ingredients[] =
       2: {
       3:     "Ham",
       4:     "Salt",
       5:     NULL
       6: };
 
    Following convention, line 2 in this example is assigned
 ‘brace-list-open’ syntax, and line 3 is assigned ‘brace-list-intro’
 syntax.  Likewise, line 6 is assigned ‘brace-list-close’ syntax.  Lines
 4 and 5 however, are assigned ‘brace-list-entry’ syntax, as would all
 subsequent lines in this initializer list.
 
    Your static initializer might be initializing nested structures, for
 example:
 
       1: struct intpairs[] =
       2: {
       3:     { 1, 2 },
       4:     {
       5:         3,
       6:         4
       7:     }
       8:     { 1,
       9:       2 },
      10:     { 3, 4 }
      11: };
 
    Here, you’ve already seen the analysis of lines 1, 2, 3, and 11.  On
 line 4, things get interesting; this line is assigned ‘brace-entry-open’
 syntactic symbol because it’s a bracelist entry line that starts with an
 open brace.  Lines 5 and 6 (and line 9) are pretty standard, and line 7
 is a ‘brace-list-close’ as you’d expect.  Once again, line 8 is assigned
 as ‘brace-entry-open’ as is line 10.
