llvm dev - Jun 2017 - The doubt to LLVM.org-How to add the new type?

Hello:

       Looking at your official website, I have a little doubt.  I would be very
happy if I could get your help..

      I'm adding   a new type for LLVM, the Bit type.In the sixth step in
the steps of adding a primitive type to the website. what does it mean to add a
token for that type? Can you explain it for me or  send me a relevant example?

  I believe you're reading [1], right? The step you're asking about is
making tool like `llvm-as`
be able to recognize and parser the type you added, just like original
LLVM primitive type
i8, float, void, ... etc.

  Please search Type in LLLexer.cpp/LLLexer.h and
LLParser.cpp/LLParser.h. For example,
take look on LLParser::ParseType.
