    <p> João,</p>
    <p>Thank you for your reply. I t appears from your response that I
      need to make "two passes" over the input file: one to generate my
      modified ast output file using FrontEndAction and a second pass
      using the code template your provided to generate the .bc file.<br>

                                <div>The easiest way to use Clang API to

                                  setup a command line invocation, using
                                  the flags from a compilation database
                                  or adding your own, build a
