Something weird happens with booleans on Windows if optimizations are enabled when compiling the self-hosted compiler. It ends up getting a boolean This will take a while to minimize into something small, so I can make a bug report / question to LLVM. It is difficult, because the self-hosted compiler is creating bool 255, and it is a lot of code. |

Pointers in classes are always
i8*in LLVM IR, so that a class can contain a pointer to itself. This way you can implement a linked list, for example. Previously this wasn't done in self-hosted compiler.Extracted from #454.
