Indeed, as you've seen (& so far as I know), LLVM IR is too low level for
your task - there are no member functions at this level, they've all been
transformed into free functions and structs.

What kind of optimization were you hoping to implement based on this
information?

If you aren't trying to implement an optimization, but instead try to
process source code in some way (indexing, source to source transformations,
etc) then you might want to use clang instead.
