  24 /// This is an important base class in LLVM. It provides the common facilities
  25 /// of all constant values in an LLVM program. A constant is a value that is
  26 /// immutable at runtime. Functions are constants because their address is
  27 /// immutable. Same with global variables.
  28 ///
  29 /// All constants share the capabilities provided in this class. All constants
  30 /// can have a null value. They can have an operand list. Constants can be
  31 /// simple (integer and floating point values), complex (arrays and structures),
  32 /// or expression based (computations yielding a constant value composed of
  33 /// only certain operators and other constant values).
  34 ///
  35 /// Note that Constants are immutable (once created they never change)
  36 /// and are fully shared by structural equivalence.  This means that two
  37 /// structurally equivalent constants will always have the same address.
  38 /// Constants are created on demand as needed and never deleted: thus clients
  39 /// don't have to worry about the lifetime of the objects.
