That's my plan (if there's some reason for that not to be the case -<br>
we should talk about it). Well, there will probably still be the API<br>
for typed pointers to keep the bitcode parser easy to manage (I<br>
suspect it would be excessively complicated to try to parse legacy<br>
pointer types from the bitcode while removing the composite<br>
PointerType entirely - so I might keep it around, rename it to<br>
LegacyPointerType or similar & try to make sure only the bitcode<br>
parser uses it)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I was thinking about high level API that would help a LLVM user to track pointee types. I've checked it was discussed in the main LLVMdev thread, so it should close the subject here.</div><div> </div></div></div>
