36 /// The instances of the Type class are immutable: once they are created,
37 /// they are never changed. Also note that only one instance of a particular
38 /// type is ever created. Thus seeing if two types are equal is a matter of
39 /// doing a trivial pointer comparison. To enforce that no two equal instances
40 /// are created, Type instances can only be created via static factory methods
41 /// in class Type and in derived classes.
43 /// Once allocated, Types are never free'd, unless they are an abstract type
44 /// that is resolved to a more concrete type.
46 /// Types themself don't have a name, and can be named either by:
47 /// - using SymbolTable instance, typically from some Module,
48 /// - using convenience methods in the Module class (which uses module's
51 /// Opaque types are simple derived types with no state. There may be many
52 /// different Opaque type objects floating around, but two are only considered
53 /// identical if they are pointer equals of each other. This allows us to have
54 /// two opaque types that end up resolving to different concrete types later.
56 /// Opaque types are also kinda weird and scary and different because they have
57 /// to keep a list of uses of the type. When, through linking, parsing, or
58 /// bitcode reading, they become resolved, they need to find and update all
59 /// users of the unknown type, causing them to reference a new, more concrete
60 /// type. Opaque types are deleted when their use list dwindles to zero users.
