[LLVMdev] [LLVM-Clang CFG] - generating CFG of a C program and llvm iterators

[Duncan Sands]

Hi Rajendra, you want to get hold of the LLVM IR produced by clang (use the
-flto option to have clang produce LLVM IR), and pipe it to the "opt" command
line tool, into which you will have loaded your logic as a plugin pass.  So I
suggest you read about writing plugins for opt.

Ciao, Duncan.
