[cfe-dev] Possible Typo in Language Reference Documentation

[Rafael Stahl via cfe-dev]

Hi,

a 32 bit integer has 32 bits, not 2^32 bits. In the doc at the top you 
can see the definition of MAX_INT_BITS is (1<<24)-1:

https://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1IntegerType.html

So it seems like 23 is still the wrong number. And it should be "about 
16 million" as also described here:

https://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1IntegerType.html#aae37e53dd685a3f393852f81ebb17ed8

Seems like it was changed here, without updating documentation:
