+* LLVM IR and APIs are in a period of transition to aid in the removal of
+ pointer types (the end goal being that pointers are typeless/opaque - void*,
+ if you will). Some APIs and IR constructs have been modified to take
+ explicit types that are currently checked to match the target type of their
+ pre-existing pointer type operands. Further changes are still needed, but the
+ more you can avoid using PointerType::getPointeeType, the easier the
+ migration will be.
