I mean how do I realize this in a c++ pass code?

thanks a lot!

You're still not making sense.  Are you asking what sort of C++ code 
will generate the use of a function pointer when compiled into LLVM IR, 
or are you asking how to determine, within an LLVM pass, what the 
possible target(s) of an indirect function call might be?

Sorry, I am asking the second question.
"
how to determine, within an LLVM pass, what the
possible target(s) of an indirect function call might be?
"
