**
**  entity.h:  entities represent all program known objects.
**
**  An entity is the representation of program known objects in Firm.
**  The primary concept of entities is to represent members of complex
**  types, i.e., fields and methods of classes.  As not all programming
**  language model all variables and methods as members of some class,
**  the concept of entities is extended to cover also local and global
**  variables, and arbitrary procedures.
**
**  An entity always specifies the type of the object it represents and
**  the type of the object it is a part of, the owner of the entity.
**  Originally this is the type of the class of which the entity is a
**  member.
**  The owner of local variables is the procedure they are defined in.
**  The owner of global variables and procedures visible in the whole
**  program is a universally defined class type "GlobalType".  The owner
**  of procedures defined in the scope of an other procedure is the
**  enclosing procedure.
**
**  In detail the datastructure entity has the following fields:
**
**  ident *name     Name of this entity as specified in the source code.
**                  Only unequivocal in conjuction with scope.
**  ident *ld_name  Unique name of this entity, i.e., the mangled
**                  name.  E.g., for a class `A' with field `a' this
**                  is the ident for `A_a'.
**  type *type      The type of this entity, e.g., a method type, a
**                  basic type of the language or a class itself.
**  type *owner;    The class this entity belongs to.  In case of local
**                  variables the method they are defined in.
**  int offset;     Offset in byte for this entity.  Fixed when layout
**                  of owner is determined.
**  ir_graph *irg;  If (type == method_type) this is the corresponding irg.
**                  The ir_graph constructor automatically sets this field.
**                  If (type != method_type) access of this field will cause
**                  an assertion.

 *
 * NAME
 *   entity - An abstract data type to represent program entites.
 * NOTE
 *
 * ATTRIBUTES
 *   owner      A compound type this entity is a part of.
 *   type       The type of this entity.
 *   name       The string that represents this entity in the source program.
 *   allocation A flag saying whether the entity is dynamically or statically
 *              allocated (values: dynamic_allocated,  static_allocated,
 *              automatic_allocated).
 *   visibility A flag indicating the visibility of this entity (values: local,
 *              external_visible,  external_allocated)
 *   variability A flag indicating the variability of this entity (values:
 *              uninitialized, initalized, part_constant, constant)
 *   volatility @@@
 *   offset     The offset of the entity within the compound object.  Only set
 *              if the owner in the state "layout_fixed".
 *   overwrites A list of entities overwritten by this entity.  This list is only
 *              existent if the owner of this entity is a class.  The members in
 *              this list must be entities of super classes.
 *   overwrittenby A list of entities that overwrite this entity.  This list is only
 *              existent if the owner of this entity is a class.  The members in
 *              this list must be entities of sub classes.
 *   link       A void* to associate some additional information with the entity.
 *   irg        If the entity is a method this is the ir graph that represents the
 *              code of the method.
 *   peculiarity The peculiarity of the entity.  If the entity is a method this
 *              indicates whether the entity represents
 *              a real method or whether it only exists to describe an interface.
 *              In that case there nowhere exists code for this entity and this entity
 *              is never dynamically used in the code.
 *              Values: description, existent.  Default: existent.
 *   visited    visited flag.  Master flag is entity_visited.
 *
 *  These fields can only be accessed via access functions.
