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