Currently, Structure layout is left to targets, which implement them according to the ABI of that platform. While this is fine for most structures, it makes packed structures very ugly. All fields in a packed type must be converted to byte arrays with casts to access fields, which bloats accesses and obsfucates the types. First class support for packed types would clean up the generated code

...ype of Global Variable with StructType is different from type of Global Variable, current front-end makes an temporary StructType for initializer as unnamed struct ("%42"). In this case, Is temporary StructType for initializer Unnamed sturct (named structs with no names)? And will be key(StructValType) of StructTypes(map) the number of elements and isPacked in current IR plus a name? (if so, isPacked is likely to be redundant in some types.)

Hi all, I was wondering if we could use named metadata to store some of C++ logic without changing the IR. This is primarily only for front-end buiding and the resulting IR (with or without metadata) should be the same as it is today (or better). I say this because of the number of global variables front-ends need to keep because LLVM IR cannot represent all the information of types, vatriables,

Several people have been proding me to write up my thoughts on how to fix the IR type system for LLVM 3.0. Here are some (fairly stream of conscious) thoughts on the matter: http://nondot.org/sabre/LLVMNotes/TypeSystemRewrite.txt Comments welcome! -Chris
