Subject: Use a different name for pointer types in tbaa, to be a little
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dc491118b3ad2b35f047df611107b8a069176ce5;p=clang

Use a different name for pointer types in tbaa, to be a little
more consistent with other names, and to look less like a magic name.
