[LLVMdev] How to implement list in llvm

[Cristianno Martins]

Hi, 

Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. I guess you want some kind of superclass of some set of classes that are defined in the llvm api(?). In that case, which are specifically the types you could have in this list you're trying to define?
