Created an attachment (id=1099)
 --> (http://llvm.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=1099)
Proposed change to LangRef.html

Currently the syntax for the call instruction reads:

  <result> = [tail] call [cconv] <ty>* <fnptrval>(<param list>)

Which is mistaken. A long syntax call instruction has two types, one for the
CallInst itself (aka. the return type) and an optional one for the fnptrval.
The current documentation claims that <ty>* is optional, implying that a call
can be written with no type at all.

Please review the attached patch.
