Comment (by erikd):

 Its not mentioned in the release notes, however the IR docs for the `load`
 for 3.7 are here :

     http://llvm.org/releases/3.7.0/docs/LangRef.html#load-instruction

 which gives as an example:

 {{{
 %ptr = alloca i32                               ; yields i32*:ptr
 store i32 3, i32* %ptr                          ; yields void
 %val = load i32, i32* %ptr                      ; yields i32:val = i32 3
 }}}


 For 3.6 the docs are here:

     http://llvm.org/releases/3.6.0/docs/LangRef.html#load-instruction

 and the example is:

 {{{
 %ptr = alloca i32                               ; yields i32*:ptr
 store i32 3, i32* %ptr                          ; yields void
 %val = load i32* %ptr                           ; yields i32:val = i32 3
 }}}
