That doesn't say anything about the handling of ambiguity between
structure members and typedef names.
typedef char T;
struct foo {
int T;
int U;
int *__counted_by((T)+U) buf;
};
Is T interpreted as a typedef name inside __counted_by? Or does even the
interpretation of which identifiers are typedef names and which are
expressions depend on membership of the structure?
