 1deferred class LLVM_CONSTANT
 2	-- LLVM Constant Representation.
 3
 4	-- This is an important base class in LLVM. It provides the common
 5	-- facilities of all constant values in an LLVM program. A constant is a
 6	-- value that is immutable at runtime. Functions are constants because
 7	-- their address is immutable. Same with global variables.
 8
 9	-- All constants share the capabilities provided in this class. All
10	-- constants can have a null value. They can have an operand list.
11	-- Constants can be simple (integer and floating point values), complex
12	-- (arrays and structures), or expression based (computations yielding a
13	-- constant value composed of only certain operators and other constant
14	-- values).
15
16	-- Note that Constants are immutable (once created they never change) and
17	-- are fully shared by structural equivalence. This means that two
18	-- structurally equivalent constants will always have the same address.
19	-- Constants are created on demand as needed and never deleted: thus
20	-- clients don't have to worry about the lifetime of the objects.
