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