I don't think the builder will necessarily be able to do all the required type-checking for free. Some of it won't be available even at builder-time (most obvious example would be a parameter register would have no type information to ch...

Hi there, Sorry, I don't have the thread history to reply to since I normally read llvmdev through the archives, but wanted to give my .02 of feedback anyway. As far as I understand, this change is wanted because the LLVM infrastructure derives no value from knowing the types, and there's a cost in terms of code spent to support all of it. I've been creating a frontend that mostly
