    Ref{T}

An object that safely references data of type `T`. This type is guaranteed to point to
valid, Julia-allocated memory of the correct type. The underlying data is protected from
freeing by the garbage collector as long as the `Ref` itself is referenced.

In Julia, `Ref` objects are dereferenced (loaded or stored) with `[]`.

Creation of a `Ref` to a value `x` of type `T` is usually written `Ref(x)`.
Additionally, for creating interior pointers to containers (such as Array or Ptr),
it can be written `Ref(a, i)` for creating a reference to the `i`-th element of `a`.

`Ref{T}()` creates a reference to a value of type `T` without initialization.
For a bitstype `T`, the value will be whatever currently resides in the memory
allocated. For a non-bitstype `T`, the reference will be undefined and attempting to
dereference it will result in an error, "UndefRefError: access to undefined reference".

To check if a `Ref` is an undefined reference, use [`isassigned(ref::RefValue)`](@ref).
For example, `isassigned(Ref{T}())` is `false` if `T` is not a bitstype.
If `T` is a bitstype, `isassigned(Ref{T}())` will always be true.

When passed as a `ccall` argument (either as a `Ptr` or `Ref` type), a `Ref`
object will be converted to a native pointer to the data it references.
For most `T`, or when converted to a `Ptr{Cvoid}`, this is a pointer to the
object data. When `T` is an `isbits` type, this value may be safely mutated,
otherwise mutation is strictly undefined behavior.

As a special case, setting `T = Any` will instead cause the creation of a
pointer to the reference itself when converted to a `Ptr{Any}`
(a `jl_value_t const* const*` if T is immutable, else a `jl_value_t *const *`).
When converted to a `Ptr{Cvoid}`, it will still return a pointer to the data
region as for any other `T`.

A `C_NULL` instance of `Ptr` can be passed to a `ccall` `Ref` argument to initialize it.

# Use in broadcasting
`Ref` is sometimes used in broadcasting in order to treat the referenced values as a scalar.

# Examples

```jldoctest
julia> r = Ref(5) # Create a Ref with an initial value
Base.RefValue{Int64}(5)

julia> r[] # Getting a value from a Ref
5

julia> r[] = 7 # Storing a new value in a Ref
7

julia> r # The Ref now contains 7
Base.RefValue{Int64}(7)

julia> isa.(Ref([1,2,3]), [Array, Dict, Int]) # Treat reference values as scalar during broadcasting
3-element BitVector:
 1
 0
 0

julia> Ref{Function}()  # Undefined reference to a non-bitstype, Function
Base.RefValue{Function}(#undef)

julia> try
           Ref{Function}()[] # Dereferencing an undefined reference will result in an error
       catch e
           println(e)
       end
UndefRefError()

julia> Ref{Int64}()[]; # A reference to a bitstype refers to an undetermined value if not given

julia> isassigned(Ref{Int64}()) # A reference to a bitstype is always assigned
true
```

    LLVMPtr{T, AS}

A pointer type that more closely resembles LLVM semantics: It includes the pointer address
space, and will be passed as an actual pointer instead of an integer.

This type is mainly used to interface with code that has strict requirements about pointers,
e.g., intrinsics that are selected based on the address space, or back-ends that require
pointers to be identifiable by their types.
