namespace llvm {

/// TypeBuilder - This provides a uniform API for looking up types
/// known at compile time.  To support cross-compilation, we define a
/// series of tag types in the llvm::types namespace, like i<N>,
/// ieee_float, ppc_fp128, etc.  TypeBuilder<T, false> allows T to be
/// any of these, a native C type (whose size may depend on the host
/// compiler), or a pointer, function, or struct type built out of
/// these.  TypeBuilder<T, true> removes native C types from this set
/// to guarantee that its result is suitable for cross-compilation.
/// We define the primitive types, pointer types, and functions up to
/// 5 arguments here, but to use this class with your own types,
/// you'll need to specialize it.  For example, say you want to call a
/// function defined externally as:
///
///   struct MyType {
///     int32 a;
///     int32 *b;
///     void *array[1];  // Intended as a flexible array.
///   };
///   int8 AFunction(struct MyType *value);
///
/// You'll want to use
///   Function::Create(TypeBuilder<types::i<8>(MyType*), true>::get(), ...)
/// to declare the function, but when you first try this, your compiler will
/// complain that TypeBuilder<MyType, true>::get() doesn't exist. To fix this,
/// write:
///
///   namespace llvm {
///   template<bool xcompile> class TypeBuilder<MyType, xcompile> {
///   public:
///     static StructType *get(LLVMContext &Context) {
///       // If you cache this result, be sure to cache it separately
///       // for each LLVMContext.
///       return StructType::get(
///         TypeBuilder<types::i<32>, xcompile>::get(Context),
///         TypeBuilder<types::i<32>*, xcompile>::get(Context),
///         TypeBuilder<types::i<8>*[], xcompile>::get(Context),
///         NULL);
///     }
///
///     // You may find this a convenient place to put some constants
///     // to help with getelementptr.  They don't have any effect on
///     // the operation of TypeBuilder.
///     enum Fields {
///       FIELD_A,
///       FIELD_B,
///       FIELD_ARRAY
///     };
///   }
///   }  // namespace llvm
///
/// TypeBuilder cannot handle recursive types or types you only know at runtime.
/// If you try to give it a recursive type, it will deadlock, infinitely
/// recurse, or do something similarly undesirable.

// Define the C integral types only for TypeBuilder<T, false>.
//
// C integral types do not have a defined size. It would be nice to use the
// stdint.h-defined typedefs that do have defined sizes, but we'd run into the
// following problem:
//
// On an ILP32 machine, stdint.h might define:
//
//   typedef int int32_t;
//   typedef long long int64_t;
//   typedef long size_t;
//
// If we defined TypeBuilder<int32_t> and TypeBuilder<int64_t>, then any use of
// TypeBuilder<size_t> would fail.  We couldn't define TypeBuilder<size_t> in
// addition to the defined-size types because we'd get duplicate definitions on
// platforms where stdint.h instead defines:
//
//   typedef int int32_t;
//   typedef long long int64_t;
//   typedef int size_t;
//
// So we define all the primitive C types and nothing else.
