[LLVMdev] Creating a GEP instruction.

[Rohith Goparaju]

  Thanks. The problem i'm facing is i want to get the address of the first
element of an array and i have also tried using the createInBoundsGEP which
takes the base pointer and the index value and a name. When i try passing
'0' as the index im running into problems.

Thanks,
Rohith.
