 class TestCParser_whole_code(TestCParser_base):
     """ Testing of parsing whole chunks of code.

Incorrect AST Structure when #pragma follows For loop.
Consider the following code snippet: 
```c
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    #pragma omp critical
        sum += 1;
```
When compiled without Open MP, the #pragma should be ignored completely, so that the statement ``sum += 1`` should be a descendent of the for loop. However, in the current implementation of pycparser, it is parsed a _sibling_ of the for loop, instead of as a descendant. 
```
For: 
  DeclList: 
    Decl: i, [], [], []
      TypeDecl: i, []
        IdentifierType: ['int']
      Constant: int, 0
  BinaryOp: <
    ID: i
    Constant: int, 3
  UnaryOp: p++
    ID: i
  Pragma: omp critical
Assignment: +=
  ID: sum
  Constant: int, 1
```

The same problem applies to other loops, Labels, and If statements, as in the following:
```c
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    myLabel:
    #pragma omp critical
        sum += 1;
```
```c
while(sum < 100)
    #pragma omp critical
        sum += 1;
```
```c
if (sum < 100)
    #pragma omp critical
    sum += 1;
```
The following will not even parse, but it should:
```c        
do 
    #pragma omp critical
    sum += 1;
while(sum < 100)
```
