Descrizione

We currently do not have a validation in place to safeguard against initializing a variable with __VOID. Since the void type does not exist outside of return-types in LLVM, the variable's type is then changed to i32 during codegen. I think it would make sense to disallow using the type in user code in general, especially seeing as it is prefixed with __.

FUNCTION_BLOCK foo
VAR
    x : __VOID;
END_VAR
END_FUNCTION_BLOCK

...

%foo = type { i32 }
