llvm 18 support

[db7]

llir cannot parse LLVM IR v18.

In my small examples, I found two issues: i8* and other pointer types are now ptr and there are some new attributes that are not parseable such as memory(none).

Is there any chance of updating this package to be able to parse llvm IR 18

Hi @db7,

Always happy to see others who're curious about interacting with LLVM IR from Go.

I'd love for this project to gain support for LLVM 18!

However, as llir/llvm is being developed as a hobby project in our spare time, and given the high pace of development of the upstream LLVM project, it is quite unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future.

This is of course unless a passionate soul from the community steps up to the challenge!

For more background, see #240 (comment)

Happy coding!

Yeah, I understand, of course. I will evaluate the effort of updating the library myself, but I'm not sure I have the skills for it.

Anyway, thanks for the great project. We have been using llir/llvm in our vsyncer tool since 2021 :-)
