Once Opaque Pointers in QIR is resolved, the deprecated calls need to be replaced with the new versions:
Old Name
New Name
LLVMBuildLoad
LLVMBuildLoad2
LLVMBuildCall
LLVMBuildCall2
LLVMBuildInvoke
LLVMBuildInvoke2
LLVMBuildGEP
LLVMBuildGEP2
LLVMBuildInBoundsGEP
LLVMBuildInBoundsGEP2
LLVMBuildStructGEP
LLVMBuildStructGEP2
LLVMBuildPtrDiff
LLVMBuildPtrDiff2
LLVMConstGEP
LLVMConstGEP2
LLVMConstInBoundsGEP
LLVMConstInBoundsGEP2
LLVMAddAlias
LLVMAddAlias2
In preparation for this, we need to move PyQIR to LLVM 16 which should allow working with modules that can use both typed and opaque pointers. This should give us a working base from which others can migrate their tooling to support opaque pointers. We will need to design an API that allows us to turn on/off opaque pointers and use the appropriate LLVM calls depending on which API is being used.
