[LLVMdev] need help understanding getelementptr assembler instruction
Hi, I must say I also was in need of this document but never knew it existed. It seems to be linked from the faq page only. I only read that the first day I came to LLVM. Maybe linking it from the GetElementPtr instruction in LangRef.html would make sense. cheers Eric On Nov 12, 2006, at 8:47 PM, Reid Spencer wrote:> Ram, > > Please read and understand the GetElementPtr FAQ available here: > > http://llvm.org/docs/GetElementPtr.html > > That will help you understand how it works.

Go to the bottom of the GEP instruction definition in LangRef.html and you will find it. I'm going to add it to the index page too.
