+Fundamental Types (e.g., FT_VOID, FT_BOOLEAN).
+
+These are the fundamental types that gdb uses internally.  Fundamental
+types from the various debugging formats (stabs, ELF, etc) are mapped into
+one of these.  They are basically a union of all fundamental types that
+gdb knows about for all the languages that gdb knows about.
+
+Type Codes (e.g., TYPE_CODE_PTR, TYPE_CODE_ARRAY).
+
+Each time gdb builds an internal type, it marks it with one of these
+types.  The type may be a fundamental type, such as TYPE_CODE_INT, or
+a derived type, such as TYPE_CODE_PTR which is a pointer to another
+type.  Typically, several FT_* types map to one TYPE_CODE_* type, and
+are distinguished by other members of the type struct, such as whether
+the type is signed or unsigned, and how many bits it uses.
+
+Builtin Types (e.g., builtin_type_void, builtin_type_char).
+
+These are instances of type structs that roughly correspond to fundamental
+types and are created as global types for gdb to use for various ugly
+historical reasons.  We eventually want to eliminate these.  Note for
+example that builtin_type_int initialized in gdbtypes.c is basically the
+same as a TYPE_CODE_INT type that is initialized in c-lang.c for an
+FT_INTEGER fundamental type.  The difference is that the builtin_type is
+not associated with any particular objfile, and only one instance exists,
+while c-lang.c builds as many TYPE_CODE_INT types as needed, with each
+one associated with some particular objfile.
