25 /// This is an important base class in LLVM. It provides the common facilities
26 /// of all constant values in an LLVM program. A constant is a value that is
27 /// immutable at runtime. Functions are constants because their address is
28 /// immutable. Same with global variables.
29 ///
30 /// All constants share the capabilities provided in this class. All constants
31 /// can have a null value. They can have an operand list. Constants can be
32 /// simple (integer and floating point values), complex (arrays and structures),
33 /// or expression based (computations yielding a constant value composed of
34 /// only certain operators and other constant values).
35 ///
36 /// Note that Constants are immutable (once created they never change)
37 /// and are fully shared by structural equivalence.  This means that two
38 /// structurally equivalent constants will always have the same address.
39 /// Constants are created on demand as needed and never deleted: thus clients
40 /// don't have to worry about the lifetime of the objects.
