Is your question related to Clang? If yes, you'll better ask on Clang's
mailing list ( cfe-dev, see http://clang.llvm.org/ )

If your question is about LLVM, let's suppose `v' is a pointer to a
llvm::Value instance or one of its derivatives, then

llvm::outs() << *v << '\n';

will print on the console a reprentation of the Value, including its
Type, while

llvm::outs() << *v->getType() << '\n';

will print a representation of its Type.

HTH.
