createFrom

open fun createFrom(@NotNull type: @NotNull String, resolveAlias: Boolean, lang: LanguageFrontend): Type

A specialized version of the type parsing function that needs a language frontend and does magic with generics and typedefs. This is legacy code and currently only used for CXX frontend and should be removed at some point.

Use this function for parsing new types and obtaining a new Type the TypeParser creates from the typeString.
