Build compiler with LLVM 15 #229

Closed straight-shoota closed 1 year ago

straight-shoota commented 1 year ago

Support for LLVM 15 was only added recently in https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/pull/13173#issue-1618058119. The transition to opaque pointers appears to offer a significant performance improvement for LLVM codegen. We should update the distribution build to LLVM 15 to make use of that speedup.
