Hi all,

In the language specifications, many instructions have this form:

  <result> = ...

So, where is "<result>" defined? Is it an integral part of an
instruction?
Consider the "getelementptr" instruction:

  <result> = getelementptr <pty>* <ptrval>{, <ty>
<idx>}*

How is the "<result>" represented?

Best,
Xiaolong
