 *  Datastructure to hold type information.
 *
 *  This module supplies a datastructure to represent all types
 *  known in the compiled program.  This includes types specified
 *  in the program as well as types defined by the language.  In the
 *  view of the intermediate representation there is no difference
 *  between these types.  Finally it specifies some auxiliary types.
 *
 *  There exist several kinds of types, arranged by the structure of
 *  the type.  A type is described by a set of attributes.  Some of
 *  these attributes are common to all types, others depend on the
 *  kind of the type.
 *
 *  Types are different from the modes defined in irmode:  Types are
 *  on the level of the programming language, modes at the level of
 *  the target processor.

/**
 *  An abstract data type to represent types.
 *
 *  This is the abstract data type with which any type known in the
 *  compiled program can be represented.  This includes types specified
 *  in the program as well as types defined by the language.  In the
 *  view of the intermediate representation there is no difference
 *  between these types.
 *
 *  There exist several kinds of types, arranged by the structure of
 *  the type.  These are distinguished by a type opcode.
 *  A type is described by a set of attributes.  Some of these attributes
 *  are common to all types, others depend on the kind of the type.
 *
 *  The following describes the common attributes.  They can only be
 *  accessed by the functions given below.
 *
 *  The common fields are:
 *
 *  - firm_kind: A firm_kind tag containing k_type.  This is useful
 *               for dynamically checking whether a node is a type node.
 *  - type_op:   A tp_op specifying the kind of the type.
 *  - mode:      The mode to be used to represent the type on a machine.
 *  - name:      An identifier specifying the name of the type.  To be
 *               set by the frontend.
 *  - size:      The size of the type, i.e. an entity of this type will
 *               occupy size bits in memory.  In several cases this is
 *               determined when fixing the layout of this type (class,
 *               struct, union, array, enumeration).
 *  - alignment  The alignment of the type, i.e. an entity of this type will
 *               be allocated an an address in memory with this alignment.
 *               In several cases this is determined when fixing the layout
 *               of this type (class, struct, union, array)
 *  - state:     The state of the type.  The state represents whether the
 *               layout of the type is undefined or fixed (values: layout_undefined
 *               or layout_fixed).  Compound types can have an undefined
 *               layout.  The layout of the basic types primitive and pointer
 *               is always layout_fixed.  If the layout of
 *               compound types is fixed all entities must have an offset
 *               and the size of the type must be set.
 *               A fixed layout for enumeration types means that each enumeration
 *               is associated with an implementation value.
 *  - visit:     A counter for walks of the type information.
 *  - link:      A void* to associate some additional information with the type.
 *
 *  These fields can only be accessed via access functions.
 *
 *  Depending on the value of @c type_op, i.e., depending on the kind of the
 *  type the adt contains further attributes.  These are documented below.
 *
 *  @see
 *
 *  @link class_type class @endlink, @link struct_type struct @endlink,
 *  @link method_type method @endlink, @link union_type union @endlink,
 *  @link array_type array @endlink, @link enumeration_type enumeration @endlink,
 *  @link pointer_type pointer @endlink, @link primitive_type primitive @endlink
 *
 *  @todo
 *      mode maybe not global field??

/** The visibility of a type.
 *
 *  The visibility of a type indicates, whether entities of this type
 *  are accessed or allocated in external code.
 *
 *  An entity of a type is allocated in external code, if the external
 *  code declares a variable of this type, or dynamically allocates
 *  an entity of this type.  If the external code declares a (compound)
 *  type, that contains entities of this type, the visibility also
 *  must be external_allocated.
 *
 *  The visibility must be higher than that of all entities, if the
 *  type is a compound.  Here it is questionable, what happens with
 *  static entities.  If these are accessed external by direct reference,
 *  (a static call to a method, that is also in the dispatch table)
 *  it should not affect the visibility of the type.
 *
 *
 * @@@ Do we need a visibility for types?
 * I change the layout of types radically when doing type splitting.
 * I need to know, which fields of classes are accessed in the RTS,
 * e.g., [_length.  I may not move [_length to the split part.
 * The layout though, is a property of the type.
 *
 * One could also think of changing the mode of a type ...
 *
 * But, we could also output macros to access the fields, e.g.,
 *  ACCESS_[_length (X)   X->length              // conventional
 *  ACCESS_[_length (X)   X->_split_ref->length  // with type splitting
 *
 * For now I implement this function, that returns the visibility
 * based on the visibility of the entities of a compound ...
 *
 * This function returns visibility_external_visible if one or more
 * entities of a compound type have visibility_external_visible.
 * Entities of types are never visibility_external_allocated (right?).
 * Else returns visibility_local.
