<h5>Overview:</h5>
-<p>The '<tt>ptrtoint</tt>' instruction converts the pointer <tt>value</tt> to
- the integer type <tt>ty2</tt>.</p>
+<p>The '<tt>ptrtoint</tt>' instruction converts the pointer or a vector of
+ pointers <tt>value</tt> to
+ the integer (or vector of integers) type <tt>ty2</tt>.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>ptrtoint</tt>' instruction takes a <tt>value</tt> to cast, which
- must be a <a href="#t_pointer">pointer</a> value, and a type to cast it to
- <tt>ty2</tt>, which must be an <a href="#t_integer">integer</a> type.</p>
+ must be a a value of type <a href="#t_pointer">pointer</a> or a vector of
+ pointers, and a type to cast it to
+ <tt>ty2</tt>, which must be an <a href="#t_integer">integer</a> or a vector
+ of integers type.</p>
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>ptrtoint</tt>' instruction converts <tt>value</tt> to integer type
<h5>Example:</h5>
<pre>
- %X = ptrtoint i32* %X to i8 <i>; yields truncation on 32-bit architecture</i>
- %Y = ptrtoint i32* %x to i64 <i>; yields zero extension on 32-bit architecture</i>
+ %X = ptrtoint i32* %P to i8 <i>; yields truncation on 32-bit architecture</i>
+ %Y = ptrtoint i32* %P to i64 <i>; yields zero extension on 32-bit architecture</i>
+ %Z = ptrtoint <4 x i32*> %P to <4 x i64><i>; yields vector zero extension for a vector of addresses on 32-bit architecture</i>
</pre>
</div>
%X = inttoptr i32 255 to i32* <i>; yields zero extension on 64-bit architecture</i>
%Y = inttoptr i32 255 to i32* <i>; yields no-op on 32-bit architecture</i>
%Z = inttoptr i64 0 to i32* <i>; yields truncation on 32-bit architecture</i>
+ %Z = inttoptr <4 x i32> %G to <4 x i8*><i>; yields truncation of vector G to four pointers</i>

</div>
<p>The '<tt>bitcast</tt>' instruction converts <tt>value</tt> to type
<tt>ty2</tt>. It is always a <i>no-op cast</i> because no bits change with
this conversion. The conversion is done as if the <tt>value</tt> had been
- stored to memory and read back as type <tt>ty2</tt>. Pointer types may only
- be converted to other pointer types with this instruction. To convert
+ stored to memory and read back as type <tt>ty2</tt>.
+ Pointer (or vector of pointers) types may only be converted to other pointer
+ (or vector of pointers) types with this instruction. To convert
pointers to other types, use the <a href="#i_inttoptr">inttoptr</a> or
<a href="#i_ptrtoint">ptrtoint</a> instructions first.</p>

%X = bitcast i8 255 to i8 <i>; yields i8 :-1</i>
%Y = bitcast i32* %x to sint* <i>; yields sint*:%x</i>
- %Z = bitcast <2 x int> %V to i64; <i>; yields i64: %V</i>
+ %Z = bitcast <2 x int> %V to i64; <i>; yields i64: %V</i>
