Thanks!

Linus's example.c works fine with the same test-case. I decided to take 
compile.c as template just because it doesn't use the linearized code.
The tree structure better accomplishes my requirements for now. Maybe I'll 
turn to byte code in future. I've just started to play with it.

Anyway SPARSE seems to be quite helpful. It's easy to read and can save
a lot of development time while processing C sources.
