But array lengths must be 32-bit?

I've just started using arrays here so maybe I'm doing something wrong but 
attempting to allocate an array with a 64-bit length gives the error:

bench: Instructions.cpp:650: llvm::Value* getAISize(llvm::Value*): Assertion 
`Amt->getType() == Type::Int32Ty && "Malloc/Allocation array size is not a 
32-bit integer!"' failed.
