Yes. LLVM contains libraries for reading LLVM bitcode into memory and
examining the results.
The easiest method, in my opinion, is to write an LLVM pass to do the
conversion. Look at the "How to Write an LLVM Pass" document on the
LLVM web page (https://llvm.org/docs, I think). You should also read
the LLVM Programmer's Manual and the LLVM Language Reference Manual so
that you understand what constructs are in an LLVM Module.
