  // We use two different mechanisms to store the type a GEP index applies to.
  // In some cases, we need to know the outer aggregate type the index is
  // applied within, e.g. a struct. In such cases, we store the aggregate type
  // in the iterator, and derive the element type on the fly.
  //
  // However, this is not always possible, because for the outermost index there
  // is no containing type. In such cases, or if the containing type is not
  // relevant, e.g. for arrays, the element type is stored as Type* in CurTy.
  //
  // If CurTy contains a Type* value, this does not imply anything about the
  // type itself, because it is the element type and not the outer type.
  // In particular, Type* can be a struct type.
  //
  // Consider this example:
  //
  //    %my.struct = type { i32, [ 4 x float ] }
  //    [...]
  //    %gep = getelementptr %my.struct, ptr %ptr, i32 10, i32 1, 32 3
  //
  // Iterating over the indices of this GEP, CurTy will contain the following
  // values:
  //    * i32 10: The outer index always operates on the GEP value type.
  //              CurTy contains a Type*       pointing at `%my.struct`.
  //    * i32 1:  This index is within a struct.
  //              CurTy contains a StructType* pointing at `%my.struct`.
  //    * i32 3:  This index is within an array. We reuse the "flat" indexing
  //              for arrays which is also used in the top level GEP index.
  //              CurTy contains a Type*       pointing at `float`.
  //
  // Vectors are handled separately because the layout of vectors is different
  // for overaligned elements: Vectors are always bit-packed, whereas arrays
  // respect ABI alignment of the elements.
