Previously the type dumper itself was passed around to a lot of different places and manipulated in ways that were more appropriate on the type database. For example, the entire TypeDumper was passed into the symbol dumper, when all the symbol dumper wanted to do was lookup the name of a TypeIndex so it could print it. That's what the TypeDatabase is for -- mapping type indices to names. Another example is how if the user runs llvm-pdbdump with the option to dump symbols but not types, we still have to visit all types so that we can print minimal information about the type of a symbol, but just without dumping full symbol records. The way we did this before is by hacking it up so that we run everything through the type dumper with a null printer, so that the output goes to /dev/null. But really, we don't need to dump anything, all we want to do is build the type database. Since TypeDatabaseVisitor now exists independently of TypeDumper, we can do this. We just build a custom visitor callback pipeline that includes a database visitor but not a dumper. All the hackery around printers etc goes away. After this patch, we could probably even delete the entire CVTypeDumper class since really all it is at this point is a thin wrapper that hides the details of how to build a useful visitation pipeline. It's not a priority though, so CVTypeDumper remains for now. After this patch we will be able to easily plug in a different style of type dumper by only implementing the proper visitation methods to dump one-line output and then sticking it on the pipeline.
