The type of each index argument depends on the type it is indexing into. When indexing into a (packed) structure, only i32 integer constants 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.
