8.5.6 subblock option

This is the "subblock definition names" option.

This option has some usage constraints. It:

• may appear an unlimited number of times.

This option is used to create shorthand entries for nested definitions. For example, with:

using subblock thus

--subblock=arg=argname,type,null

and defining an arg thus

arg: this, char *

will then expand to:

arg = { argname = this; type = "char *"; };

The "this, char *" string is separated at the commas, with the white space removed. You may use characters other than commas by starting the value string with a punctuation character other than a single or double quote character. You may also omit intermediate values by placing the commas next to each other with no intervening white space. For example, "+mumble++yes+" will expand to:
arg = { argname = mumble; null = "yes"; };.
