<div>I was wondering how I am going to fetch each functions of a
specific source code file (c/c++) using the LLVM framework.
For instance, I would like to apply certain passes using
llvm-opt on certain functions not the whole file. </div>

<div>I would appreciate any hints or idea leading me about the

You might be able to use the llvm-extract tool to pull out the
functions you want into a separate bitcode file and then use opt to
optimize them. You'd then need to create a second bitcode file that
contains the remaining functions (using llvm-extract again).
Finally, you'd take the optimized bitcode file and the bitcode file
containing the other functions and link them together using clang
and libLTO or the llvm-link tool.<br>
