/**
 *  An abstract data type to represent types.
 *
 *  This is the abstract data type with which any type known in the
 *  compiled program can be represented.  This includes types specified
 *  in the program as well as types defined by the language.  In the
 *  view of the intermediate representation there is no difference
 *  between these types.
 *
 *  There exist several kinds of types, arranged by the structure of
 *  the type.  These are distinguished by a type opcode.
 *  A type is described by a set of attributes.  Some of these attributes
 *  are common to all types, others depend on the kind of the type.
 *
 *  The following describes the common attributes.  They can only be
 *  accessed by the functions given below.
 *
 *  The common fields are:
 *
 *  - firm_kind: A firm_kind tag containing k_type.  This is useful
 *               for dynamically checking whether a node is a type node.
 *  - type_op:   A tp_op specifying the kind of the type.
 *  - mode:      The mode to be used to represent the type on a machine.
 *  - name:      An identifier specifying the name of the type.  To be
 *               set by the frontend.
 *  - size:      The size of the type, i.e. an entity of this type will
 *               occupy size bytes in memory.  In several cases this is
 *               determined when fixing the layout of this type (class,
 *               struct, union, array, enumeration).
 *  - state:     The state of the type.  The state represents whether the
 *               layout of the type is undefined or fixed (values: layout_undefined
 *               or layout_fixed).  Compound types can have an undefined
 *               layout.  The layout of the basic types primitive and pointer
 *               is always layout_fixed.  If the layout of
 *               compound types is fixed all entities must have an offset
 *               and the size of the type must be set.
 *               A fixed layout for enumeration types means that each enumeration
 *               is associated with an implementation value.
 *  - visit:     A counter for walks of the type information.
 *  - link:      A void* to associate some additional information with the type.
 *
 *  These fields can only be accessed via access functions.
 *
 *  Depending on the value of @c type_op, i.e., depending on the kind of the
 *  type the adt contains further attributes.  These are documented below.
 *
 *  @see
 *
 *  @link class_type class @endlink, @link struct_type struct @endlink,
 *  @link method_type method @endlink, @link union_type union @endlink,
 *  @link array_type array @endlink, @link enumeration_type enumeration @endlink,
 *  @link pointer_type pointer @endlink, @link primitive_type primitive @endlink
 *
 *  @todo
 *  	mode maybe not global field??
