<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
+only integers of 16, 32 or 64 bits are allowed (also non-constants).16-bit
+values will be sign extended to 32-bits if required, and 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
%vptr = getelementptr {i32, <2 x i8>}* %svptr, i64 0, i32 1, i32 1
<i>; yields i8*:eptr</i>
%eptr = getelementptr [12 x i8]* %aptr, i64 0, i32 1
+ <i>; yields i16*:iptr</i>
+ %iptr = getelementptr [10 x i16]* @arr, i16 0, i16 0
</pre>
