LLVM: No highlighting for block comments #2978

Closed

Description

@eisenwave

A fairly new feature in LLVM IR is C-style block comments, like /* ... */.

See https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#identifiers

Comments are delimited with a ‘;’ and go until the end of line. Alternatively, comments can start with /* and terminate with */.

These don't get highlighted by Pygments yet, which results in error highlighting within the LLVM docs:
