            Bug ID: 38012
           Summary: bswap documentation does not mention vector support
           Product: new-bugs
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: new bugs
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

The documentation of `llvm.bswap` in the LangRef:
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-bswap-intrinsics

Seems to convey that it only works on integers:

>  You can use bswap on any integer type that is an even number of bytes (i.e. BitWidth % 16 == 0).

But it also works on vectors as rkruppe mentions here:
