[bug, bisected, -chrisl] Segfault at evaluate.c:341

[Hannes Eder <hannes@hanneseder.net>]

running sparse (from Christopher's tree) on linux-2.6/kernel/cred.c
(as of next-20090318, problem may appeared earlier, I have not tried
yet) causes a segfault at evaluate.c:341:

        if (type->type == SYM_NODE)
                type = type->ctype.base_type;
        if (type->type == SYM_TYPEOF) {        <======== SEGFAULT (type == NULL)
                type = evaluate_expression(type->initializer);
                if (type->type == SYM_NODE)
                        type = type->ctype.base_type;
        }

using "git bisect" i narrowed to problem down to:

[db31fd91f8231110ce8d8d48ce402f8cad068e44] Fix handling of ident-less
declarations

Does that help? Should I provide any further information?

Best,
