[LLVMdev] typedef struct

do you get this naming strangeness in the debug info, or in other parts
of the LLVM IR?  LLVM uses structural equivalence, so for example two
struct types with the same fields are considered to be the same.  This
can result in the "wrong" name being used for the type in the IR.  So if
that's the phenomenon you are seeing then there is nothing wrong because
this is not visible to users.  However if the wrong name is being output
in debug info (so in gdb you would see the wrong name) then that sounds
like a bug.  So can you please be more clear about exactly when you see
this strangeness.

Ciao,

Duncan.
