You can make up types in the expression parser.  So for instance, I can do:

ValueObjectDynamic value uses a TypeImpl to store its type, and it stores both the static type (the one returned by the parsed expression or was in the DWARF variable records for some local value) and the dynamic type it figured out by looking at the value in memory in this TypeImpl.  See for instance ValueObjectDynamicValue::UpdateValue.  ValueObjectDynamicValue could also get its static type from its parent.  I'm not sure why it doesn't do that and stores it in its TypeImpl instead; presumably this was more convenient somewhere.
