[LLVMdev] GEPping GEPs and first-class structs

[Jon Harrop]

As I understand it, first-class structs will allow structs to be passed as 
function arguments and returned as results (i.e. multiple return values) 
instead of passing pointers to structs. However, the GEP instruction only 
handles pointer types. So I do not understand how you will be able to extract 
the fields of a struct when it is received as a value type.

Will the GEP instruction be altered so that it can be applied to structs 
directly?
