I think it would be better if you gave us some idea of what you're trying to do. clang's OpenMP implementation turns the OpenMP pragmas into function calls to the runtime library. You can run passes on this IR as you would any other IR. When you say, "Do some operation on it and get results" do you mean generating code, linking and executing that code?
