Functions
ir_type *	get_unknown_type (void)
	Returns the unknown type.
int	is_unknown_type (const ir_type *type)
	Checks whether type type is the unknown type.

Detailed Description

This type is an auxiliary type dedicated to support type analyses.

The unknown type represents that there could be a type, but it is not known. This type can be used to initialize fields before an analysis (not known yet) or to represent the top of a lattice (could not be determined). There exists exactly one type unknown. This type is not on the type list in ir_prog. It is allocated when initializing the type module.

The following values are set:

• mode: mode_ANY
• name: "type_unknown"
• state: layout_fixed
• size: 0
