+Target Extension Type
+"""""""""""""""""""""
+
+:Overview:
+
+Target extension types represent types that must be preserved through
+optimization, but are otherwise generally opaque to the compiler. They may be
+used as function parameters or arguments, and in :ref:`phi <i_phi>` or
+:ref:`select <i_select>` instructions. Some types may be also used in
+:ref:`alloca <i_alloca>` instructions or as global values, and correspondingly
+it is legal to use :ref:`load <i_load>` and :ref:`store <i_store>` instructions
+on them. Full semantics for these types are defined by the target.
+
+The only constants that target extension types may have are ``zeroinitializer``,
+``undef``, and ``poison``. Other possible values for target extension types may
+arise from target-specific intrinsics and functions.
+
+These types cannot be converted to other types. As such, it is not legal to use
+them in :ref:`bitcast <i_bitcast>` instructions (as a source or target type),
+nor is it legal to use them in :ref:`ptrtoint <i_ptrtoint>` or
+:ref:`inttoptr <i_inttoptr>` instructions. Similarly, they are not legal to use
+in an :ref:`icmp <i_icmp>` instruction.
+
+Target extension types have a name and optional type or integer parameters. The
+meanings of name and parameters are defined by the target. When being defined in
+LLVM IR, all of the type parameters must precede all of the integer parameters.
+
+Specific target extension types are registered with LLVM as having specific
+properties. These properties can be used to restrict the type from appearing in
+certain contexts, such as being the type of a global variable or having a
+``zeroinitializer`` constant be valid. A complete list of type properties may be
+found in the documentation for ``llvm::TargetExtType::Property`` (`doxygen
+<https://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1TargetExtType.html>`_).
