void PointerType::refineAbstractType ( const DerivedType OldTy,
const Type NewTy 
) [virtual]

refineAbstractType - The callback method invoked when an abstract type is resolved to another type. An object must override this method to update its internal state to reference NewType instead of OldType.

Reimplemented from llvm::Type.

Definition at line 1410 of file Type.cpp.

References PointerTypes.

void PointerType::typeBecameConcrete ( const DerivedType AbsTy  )  [virtual]

The other case which AbstractTypeUsers must be aware of is when a type makes the transition from being abstract (where it has clients on it's AbstractTypeUsers list) to concrete (where it does not). This method notifies ATU's when this occurs for a type.
