*
*  Entities represent all program known objects.
*
*  @author Martin Trapp, Christian Schaefer,
*  @author Goetz Lindenmaier
*
*  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.

 *   An abstract data type to represent program entites.
 *
 *   @param owner      A compound type this entity is a part of.
 *   @param type       The type of this entity.
 *   @param name       The string that represents this entity in the source program.
 *   @param allocation A flag saying whether the entity is dynamically or statically
 *              allocated (values: dynamic_allocated,  static_allocated,
 *              automatic_allocated).
 *   @param visibility A flag indicating the visibility of this entity (values: local,
 *              external_visible,  external_allocated)
 *   @param variability A flag indicating the variability of this entity (values:
 *              uninitialized, initalized, part_constant, constant)
 *   @param volatility @@@
 *   @param offset     The offset of the entity within the compound object.  Only set
 *              if the owner in the state "layout_fixed".
 *   @param 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.
 *   @param 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.
 *   @param link       A void* to associate some additional information with the entity.
 *   @param irg        If the entity is a method this is the ir graph that represents the
 *              code of the method.
 *   @param 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.
 *   @param visited   visited flag.  Master flag is type_visited.
 *
 *  @param These fields can only be accessed via access functions.
 *
 * @see  type
