<h5>Overview:</h5>
+
<p>The '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction is used to return control flow (and a
value) from a function back to the caller.</p>
<p>There are two forms of the '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction: one that
-returns a value and then causes control flow, and one that just causes
+returns value(s) and then causes control flow, and one that just causes
control flow to occur.</p>
+
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
-<p>The '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction may return one or multiple values. The
-type of each return value must be a '<a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a>'
- type. Note that a function is not <a href="#wellformed">well formed</a>
-if there exists a '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction inside of the function that
-returns values that do not match the return type of the function.</p>
+
+<p>The '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction may return zero, one or multiple values.
+The type of each return value must be a '<a href="#t_firstclass">first
+class</a>' type. Note that a function is not <a href="#wellformed">well
+formed</a> if there exists a '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction inside of the
+function that returns values that do not match the return type of the
+function.</p>
+
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
+
<p>When the '<tt>ret</tt>' instruction is executed, control flow
returns back to the calling function's context. If the caller is a "<a
href="#i_call"><tt>call</tt></a>" instruction, execution continues at
return value. If the instruction returns multiple values then these
values can only be accessed through a '<a href="#i_getresult"><tt>getresult</tt>
</a>' instruction.</p>

-<pre> ret i32 5 <i>; Return an integer value of 5</i>

+<h5>Overview:</h5>
+<p>
+ This intrinsic subtracts <tt>delta</tt> to the value stored in memory at
+ <tt>ptr</tt>. It yields the original value at <tt>ptr</tt>.
+</p>
+<h5>Arguments:</h5>
+<p>
+
+ The intrinsic takes two arguments, the first a pointer to an integer value
+ and the second an integer value. The result is also an integer value. These
+ integer types can have any bit width, but they must all have the same bit
+ width. The targets may only lower integer representations they support.
+</p>
+<h5>Semantics:</h5>
+<p>
+ This intrinsic does a series of operations atomically. It first loads the
+ value stored at <tt>ptr</tt>. It then subtracts <tt>delta</tt>, stores the
+ result to <tt>ptr</tt>. It yields the original value stored at <tt>ptr</tt>.
