+Accessing Resources as Memory
+-----------------------------
+
+*relevant types: Buffers, CBuffer, and Textures*
+
+Loading and storing from resources is generally represented in LLVM using
+operations on memory that is only accessible via a handle object. Given a
+handle, `llvm.dx.resource.getpointer` gives a pointer that can be used to read
+and (depending on type) write to the resource.
+
+Accesses using `llvm.dx.resource.getpointer` are replaced with direct load and
+store operations in the `DXILResourceAccess` pass. These direct loads and
+stores are described later in this document.
+
+.. note:: Currently the pointers returned by `dx.resource.getpointer` are in
+          the default address space, but that will likely change in the future.
