HIR

[tertsdiepraam]

The compiler currently has the following stages:

• String
• AST
• IR
• CLIF
• Machine code

The jump between AST and IR is getting a bit big, so we need something in-between. Therefore, we should rename the IR to LIR and introduce an HIR.

This HIR should not deal with raw memory accesses but should still have more type information. It should also know about aggregate types. This will allow us to deal with ABI concerns between HIR and LIR.
