The '<tt>getelementptr</tt>' instruction is used to get the address of a

+subelement of an aggregate data structure. It performs address calculation only
+and does not access memory.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
-<p>This instruction takes a list of integer operands that indicate what
-elements of the aggregate object to index to. The actual types of the arguments
-provided depend on the type of the first pointer argument. The
-'<tt>getelementptr</tt>' instruction is used to index down through the type
-levels of a structure or to a specific index in an array. When indexing into a
-structure, only <tt>i32</tt> integer constants are allowed. When indexing
-into an array or pointer, only integers of 32 or 64 bits are allowed; 32-bit
-values will be sign extended to 64-bits if required.</p>
+<p>The first argument is always a pointer, and forms the basis of the
+calculation. The remaining arguments are indices, that indicate which of the
+elements of the aggregate object are indexed. The interpretation of each index
+is dependent on the type being indexed into. The first index always indexes the
+pointer value given as the first argument, the second index indexes a value of
+the type pointed to (not necessarily the value directly pointed to, since the
+first index can be non-zero), etc. The first type indexed into must be a pointer
+value, subsequent types can be arrays, vectors and structs. Note that subsequent
+types being indexed into can never be pointers, since that would require loading
+the pointer before continuing calculation.</p>
+
+<p>The type of each index argument depends on the type it is indexing into.
+When indexing into a (packed) structure, only <tt>i32</tt> integer
+<b>constants</b> are allowed. When indexing into an array, pointer or vector,
+only integers of 32 or 64 bits are allowed (also non-constants). 32-bit values
+will be sign extended to 64-bits if required.</p>
<p>For example, let's consider a C code fragment and how it gets
compiled to LLVM:</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>

-on the pointer type that is being indexed into. <a href="#t_pointer">Pointer</a>
