[llvm-dev] Why does an LLVM pass based on FunctionPass not get triggered for certain functions?

I am learning to write LLVM pass by trying to reproduce [hello world][1]
example. The pass `hello.cpp` looks like:

    #include "llvm/Pass.h"
    #include "llvm/IR/Function.h"
    #include "llvm/Support/raw_ostream.h"

    using namespace llvm;

    namespace {
      struct Hello : public FunctionPass {
        static char ID;
        Hello() : FunctionPass(ID) {}

        bool runOnFunction(Function &F) override {
          errs() << "Hello: ";
          errs().write_escaped(F.getName()) << '\n';
          return false;
        }
      };
    }

    char Hello::ID = 0;9
    static RegisterPass<Hello> X("hello", "Hello World
Pass", false, false);

The sample program `world.c` looks like:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main() {
    printf("Hello World\n");
    return 0;
    }

The program is compiled using the following command line: `clang world.c -c
-emit-llvm -O3 -o world.bc`

The bitcode produced by `llvm-dis` looks like:

    ; ModuleID = 'src/hello.bc'
    target datalayout = "e-m:e-i64:64-f80:128-n8:16:32:64-S128"
    target triple = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"

    @str = private unnamed_addr constant [12 x i8] c"Hello World\00"

    ; Function Attrs: nounwind uwtable
    define i32 @main() #0 {
      %puts = tail call i32 @puts(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([12 x i8],
[12 x i8]* @str, i64 0, i64 0))
      ret i32 0
    }

    ; Function Attrs: nounwind
    declare i32 @puts(i8* nocapture) #1

    attributes #0 = { nounwind uwtable
"disable-tail-calls"="false"
"less-precise-fpmad"="false"
"no-frame-pointer-elim"="false"
"no-infs-fp-math"="false"
"no-nans-fp-math"="false"
"stack-protector-buffer-size"="8"
"target-cpu"="x86-64"
"target-features"="+fxsr,+mmx,+sse,+sse2"
"unsafe-fp-math"="false"
"use-soft-float"="false" }
    attributes #1 = { nounwind }

    !llvm.ident = !{!0}

    !0 = !{!"clang version 3.8.0 (tags/RELEASE_380/final)"}

When I run the pass on the bitcode: `opt -load hello/libhello.so -hello
src/world.bc > /dev/null`, the output is:

    Hello: main

However, the [tutorial][2] claims that the output should have been:

    Hello: __main
    Hello: puts
    Hello: main

Why does my pass not get triggered for the first two functions?

[llvm-dev] Why does an LLVM pass based on FunctionPass not get triggered for certain functions?

This example is taken straight out of official documentation, yet it does
not quite work. Did anyone else face such issue with LLVM function pass?
Basically, the pass does not get triggered for external library function
calls, e.g. malloc(), puts(); however  behaves correctly for user defined
ones.

[llvm-dev] Why does an LLVM pass based on FunctionPass not get triggered for certain functions?

The legacy pass manager skips declarations, such as puts.

bool FPPassManager::runOnFunction(Function &F) {
  if (F.isDeclaration())
    return false;

maybe the documentation needs to be updated?
