Sorry, I couldn't attend the concall, so I'm not sure I follow 100% what you are trying to accomplish.

Representing a type is not too complicated, but that depends on the language (C, C++, Fortran, etc) and the kind of type (e.g., integer, float, complex, aggregate, array, pointer, reference, etc.). Generally, debug information schemes like STABS and DWARF (which are commonly used on most Unix systems), allow the compiler and language to name the type, and provide the properties of the type. For example, "int" in C may be the same kind of type as "INTEGER*4" in Fortran: e.g., a 4-byte signed integer.

I'll need more context before I can recommend a scheme.

Cheers, John D.
