1 //===-- llvm/Type.h - Classes for handling data types ------------*- C++ -*--=//
3 // This file contains the declaration of the Type class. For more "Type" type
4 // stuff, look in DerivedTypes.h.
6 // Note that instances of the Type class are immutable: once they are created,
7 // they are never changed. Also note that only one instance of a particular
8 // type is ever created. Thus seeing if two types are equal is a matter of
9 // doing a trivial pointer comparison.
11 // Types, once allocated, are never free'd.
13 // Opaque types are simple derived types with no state. There may be many
14 // different Opaque type objects floating around, but two are only considered
15 // identical if they are pointer equals of each other. This allows us to have
16 // two opaque types that end up resolving to different concrete types later.
18 // Opaque types are also kinda wierd and scary and different because they have
19 // to keep a list of uses of the type. When, through linking, parsing, or
20 // bytecode reading, they become resolved, they need to find and update all
21 // users of the unknown type, causing them to reference a new, more concrete
22 // type. Opaque types are deleted when their use list dwindles to zero users.
