What happens is actually pretty simple - we get address_space(1) handled
in declaration_specifiers(), which sets ctype->as to 1. Then we see
"void" and eventually get to
ctype->base_type = type;
}
check_modifiers(&token->pos, s, ctype->modifiers);
apply_ctype(token->pos, &thistype, ctype);
with thistype coming from lookup for "void". And that, of course, has
zero ->as. Now apply_ctype merrily buggers ctype->as and we have 0...
So AFAICS proper fix for sparse should be to check thistype->as to see
if it really has any intention to change ->as. ACK?
