<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>A packed type is a simple derived type that represents a vector
of elements. Packed types are used when multiple primitive data
are operated in parallel using a single instruction (SIMD).
A packed type requires a size (number of
elements) and an underlying primitive data type. Packed types are
considered <a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a>.</p>

be any integral or floating point type.</p>

<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>Opaque types are used to represent unknown types in the system. This
corresponds (for example) to the C notion of a foward declared structure type.
In LLVM, opaque types can eventually be resolved to any type (not just a
structure type).</p>
