There were a couple of quirks with this parameter: 1. It wasn't being set consistently. E.g., vector types would be of count `1` but complex types would be `2`. Hence, it wasn't clear what count was referring to. 2. `count` was not being set if the input type was invalid, possibly leaving the input reference uninitialized. 3. Only one callsite actually made use of `count`, and that in itself seems like it could be improved (added a FIXME). If we ever need a "how many elements does this type represent", we can implement one with a new `TypeSystem` API that does exactly that.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
