Class CppType

The C++ type of an IR entity. This cannot just be Type for a couple reasons:

Some types needed by the IR might not exist in the database (e.g. RoutineTypes for functions that are always called directly)
Some types needed by the IR are not representable in the C++ type system (e.g. the result type of a VariableAddress where the variable is of reference type)

getByteSize	Gets the size of the type in bytes, if known.
getDumpString	Gets a string used in IR dumps
getIRType	Gets the `IRType` that represents this `CppType`. Many different `CppType`s can map to a single `IRType`.
hasType	Holds if the `CppType` represents a prvalue of type `Type` (if `isGLValue` is `false`), or if it represents a glvalue of type `Type` (if `isGLValue` is `true`).
hasUnspecifiedType	Holds if this type represents the C++ type `type`. If `isGLValue` is `true`, then this type represents a glvalue of type `type`. Otherwise, it represents a prvalue of type `type`.
toString	Gets a textual representation of this type.
