+<a href="LangRef.html#undef"><tt>undef</tt></a> is the LLVM way of representing
+a value that is not defined.  You can get these if you do not initialize a 
+variable before you use it.  For example, the C function:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+  <tt>int X() { int i; return i; }</tt>
+</div>
+
+<p>Is compiled to "<tt>ret int undef</tt>" because "i" never has a value 
+specified for it.
