[llvm-dev] Dumping the Vtable

[Damilola Orikogbo via llvm-dev]

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the reply. I apologize for the unclear question. I am new to
using clang and llvm.

I have tried this but the version I have for some reason won't allow me to
use this command line option. Furthermore, I am trying to get this
information via the IR  and writing a pass to get this information to use
at a later point.
