How to compile .cpp file into LLVM IR with LLVM API?

Clang Frontend Using Clang

Hi, all.

I’d like to compile source code (.cpp source file) using LLVM classes (not from command-line) into LLVM IR bytecode. How can i do it? I can’t create processes so no executable invocations (like clang or ld) are allowed. I believe ld is not needed as i’m not going to link the files.

Actually what i need is to do clang -S -emit-llvm main.cpp but using LLVM/Clang API.

Regards, Anton.
