+ * 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 bytes in memory. In several cases this is
+ * determined when fixing the layout of this type (class,
+ * struct, union, array, enumeration).
+ * - 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
