Note on LLVM Opaque Pointers (Video vs. Modern LLVM)

In the video (recorded with an earlier LLVM version), pointers are typed (e.g., i32*, i8*). Since LLVM 15 (and in LLVM 18 used in this course), all pointers are opaque and written simply as ptr (for example, store i32 5, ptr %ptr and load i32, ptr %ptr).

The downloadable slides have been updated to reflect the modern LLVM syntax.
