...T, I assume?) deals with *symbols*. Assuming your complex datatype is called a "struct" for simplicity's sake, your symbol table would normally just store the struct's name, along with its AST node. Unless you want specific handling for static-style data member accesses (MyClass::my_static_member in C++), there is no need to add each element in the struct to the symbol table. The main reason for this is that it holds no semantic value: * A struct S is a specific type, which can be instantiated. It would therefore be added to the symbol table as it can be referred to by code (my $s = new S)...
