: [When type-matching in a C++ translator]
: My main problem for this example is that I don't know when I can
: convert a * declarator to a [] or vice versa. ...


The best I know of is Ellis & Stroustrup, the Annotated C++ Reference Manual.
In particular look at section 13.2, Argument Matching.


: ... What about other form of
: declarators { &, (), ::* } ? Do I also have to check on the const-ness
: and volatile-ness of each declarator, if so, how ?


Yes, you do, and there are "trivial" conversions that do that.
