-- Typedef class
-- Represents a type synonym.
-- The 'de facto' type replaces the typedef before the
-- remaining code is parsed.
-- The following fields are stored:
--   utype = typedef name
--   type = 'the facto' type
--   mod = modifiers to the 'de facto' type
classTypedef = {
    utype = '',
    mod = '',
    type = ''
}
classTypedef.__index = classTypedef

-- Print method
function classTypedef:print (ident,close)
    print(ident.."Typedef{")
    print(ident.." utype = '"..self.utype.."',")
    print(ident.." mod = '"..self.mod.."',")
    print(ident.." type = '"..self.type.."',")
    print(ident.."}"..close)
end

-- Return it's not a variable
function classTypedef:isvariable ()
    return false
end

-- Internal constructor
function _Typedef (t)
    setmetatable(t,classTypedef)
    t.type = resolve_template_types(t.type)
    appendtypedef(t)
    return t
end

-- Constructor
-- Expects one string representing the type definition.
function Typedef (s)
