If you've got a pointer to a class then you can use IRBuilder to
access its vtable (assuming you know the offset in the object) and
functions within that vtable. At the Module level if you know the
specific class you want a vtable for you can get it by name (e.g.
@_ZTV3Foo for "struct Foo").

Cheers.
