Duncan Sands 2333e29be4 Relax the restrictions on vector of pointer types, and vector getelementptr.
Previously in a vector of pointers, the pointer couldn't be any pointer type,
it had to be a pointer to an integer or floating point type.  This is a hassle
for dragonegg because the GCC vectorizer happily produces vectors of pointers
where the pointer is a pointer to a struct or whatever.  Vector getelementptr
was restricted to just one index, but now that vectors of pointers can have
any pointer type it is more natural to allow arbitrary vector getelementptrs.
There is however the issue of struct GEPs, where if each lane chose different
struct fields then from that point on each lane will be working down into
unrelated types.  This seems like too much pain for too little gain, so when
you have a vector struct index all the elements are required to be the same.

LLVM Documentation
==================

The LLVM documentation is currently written in two formats:

  * Plain HTML documentation.

  * reStructured Text documentation using the Sphinx documentation generator. It
    is currently tested with Sphinx 1.1.3. 

    For more information, see the "Sphinx Introduction for LLVM Developers"
    document.
