The signed information is still there, merged with the typecode:
#define dh_typecode_void 0
#define dh_typecode_noreturn 0
#define dh_typecode_i32 2
#define dh_typecode_s32 3
#define dh_typecode_i64 4
#define dh_typecode_s64 5
#define dh_typecode_ptr 6
Note that is_signed is bit 0.
But I can see that dh_alias_s32 hides it -- definitely a bug there.
