So in this example:<br>

<pre>%idx = getelementptr { float*, i32 }* %MyStruct, i64 0, i32 1

I believe pointers and arrays are indexed using i64 (or some integer
size matching the pointer size) and structure elements are indexed
using i32.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div>This. Frontends generally emit non-struct indexes as appropriately-sized integers to avoid (possibly) unwanted problems with extension. In this case, since that index is constant 0, it's unimportant, but you can imagine cases where it would. Struct indexes, on the other hand, must be constant and non-negative, so the choice of index width doesn't matter.</div><div><br></div><div>John.</div></body></html>
