== A.8 Declarations ==

Declarations specify the interpretation given to each identifier; they do not necessarily reserve storage associated with the identifier. Declarations that reserve storage are called definitions. Declarations have the form

    declaration:
      declaration-specifiers init-declarator-listopt;

The declarators in the init-declarator list contain the identifiers being declared; the declaration-specifiers consist of a sequence of type and storage class specifiers.

    declaration-specifiers:
      storage-class-specifier declaration-specifiersopt
      type-specifier declaration-specifiersopt
      type-qualifier declaration-specifiersopt

    init-declarator-list:
      init-declarator
      init-declarator-list , init-declarator

    init-declarator:
      declarator
      declarator = initializer

Declarators will be discussed later (Par.A.8.5); they contain the names being declared. A declaration must have at least one declarator, or its type specifier must declare a structure tag, a union tag, or the members of an enumeration; empty declarations are not permitted.
