The LLVM disassembler (llvm-dis) generates a human readable list of LLVM
assembly instructions representing the bytecode instructions inside of
the .bc file.  LLVM instructions really don't have addresses, so there
is no equivalent functionality in llvm-dis.

If you want to generate machine code and then disassemble it to see the
native instructions, you can use llc on the bytecode to generate native
assembly language.  Then you can assemble and disassemble the native
code with gcc (really, as) and objdump, respectively.

For example,

llc -o file.s file.bc
gcc -o file.o file.s
objdump -d file.o

This would produce the list of native code instructions generated by
llc, including the addresses of the native code instructions.

Is this the sort of answer you're looking for?
