You could also use the API, e.g.

RunPass(Pass* p) {
  PassManager pm;
  pm.add(p);
  pm.run(M)
}

...
RunPass(createAPass());
RunPass(createBPass());
RunPass(createCPass());
...

Is your goal just to see the performance lost from having to recompute
analyses that would otherwise be preserved and reused?
