[LLVMdev] GetElementPtr

[Ryan Taylor]

For the gep:

%idx1 = getelementptr i32* %MyVar, i32 0

i32* is the type that MyVar is pointing to and i32 is the type of the
offset value, or what? If it's the type of offset value, then
the size of the pointer shouldn't be less than i32, correct?

The index is 0, so in this example, the address computation is idx1 = &MyVar+0.

What I want to know is the size in bits of the values above, it looks
like 0 is 32 bits in size, which would make the pointer size also 32?
