LLVM does not distinguish between application and library functions, 
unless you mean that it distinguishes between defined functions and 
functions defined in another module.  It's possible that runOnFunction() 
is not called for functions with no function body (aka external 
declarations or external functions).

If you disassemble your input bytecode file and look at the LLVM 
disassembly, I'd bet that either __main() and puts are external 
functions with no function body or are not present in the file at all.
