clang++: Compile source code into LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR).

clang++

$ clang++ -S -emit-llvm ${path-to-source-cpp} -o ${path-to-output-ll}

try on your machine

The command clang++ is a compiler front-end command for the Clang compiler, which is used to compile and link C++ programs. -S option instructs the compiler to stop after the generation of the assembly code, instead of proceeding to object file generation. -emit-llvm option instructs the compiler to emit LLVM intermediate representation (IR) code instead of the default assembly code. ${path-to-source-cpp} should be replaced with the actual path to the input C++ source file that you want to compile. ${path-to-output-ll} should be replaced with the desired path and name for the output LLVM IR file. So, the overall purpose of this command is to compile the C++ source file specified by ${path-to-source-cpp} using the Clang compiler, generate LLVM IR code, and save it to the file specified by ${path-to-output-ll}.
