Note on LLVM Syntax (Video vs. Modern LLVM)

In the video (recorded with an earlier LLVM version), pointers are typed (i32*). In modern LLVM (LLVM 18 used in this course), all pointers are opaque (ptr). Additionally, unconditional branches explicitly require the label prefix: br label %target.

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