  27 Pointer types are defined using the <CODE>TYPE_PTR</CODE> operator and the
  28 <CODE>ptr_type</CODE> derived class.  The <CODE>ref_type</CODE> method returns the
  29 type that is pointed to by a particular <CODE>ptr_type</CODE> node.  The
  30 <CODE>set_ref_type</CODE> method can be used to change this referent type.
  31 The size of a pointer type is determined by the target machine
  32 (see section <A HREF="suif1_103.html#SEC103">Target Machine Parameters</A>); it cannot be changed for individual
  33 pointer types.
