I do not know if there's general mechanism in LLVM to answer your question,
but you probably don't even need that.

1. Compiling with -save-temps will give you a preprocessed source, and you can
grep it for "asm".

2. The assembler most likely comes from boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_counted_base_gcc_x86.hpp.
Defining either BOOST_SP_DISABLE_THREAD, or BOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS will work around
this problem.
