[LLVMdev] Question about structure of SymbolTable

[Robert Mykland]

Brian,

Global symbols including new named types are named in the global symbol 
table.  In addition each function contains a local symbol table naming 
local items, including temporary variables.

I'm busy documenting all this, but I'm also busy writing a code generator 
for my architecture, so haven't gotten enough through everything to 
completely document the bytecode language.  Symbol tables in LLVM are easy 
though.

Hope this answers your question.
