[LLVMdev] typedef struct

[Alvin Cheung]

Hi Duncan,

Actually what I am doing is matching up each Type with its corresponding debug 
info.  I have checked that the debug info generated is consistent (i.e., typeA 
is recorded as a derived type from composite type typeB in my example), but I 
have seen cases where the name recorded in the Type object is typeA and 
sometimes typeB, that's why I am confused.
