Short answer is no. Your best bet is to use debug info to do this.
Once you have used debug info to map instructions to the source they
came from, it is always possible to use the clang APIs to map those
source locations to clang AST nodes (see the APIs vended via
clang/include/clang-c/Index.h for example).
