36 /// they are never changed. Also note that only one instance of a particular

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