What parts of llvm are exposed to llgo?

[jbec...@gmail.com]

I assume this is just to the go build compiler that uses llvm?

Does this have access to the llvm-ir or the llvm-disassembler?  Can I use Go to do binary analysis?

Not sure if you are aware of this:

http://tinygo.org

but this go compiler (not complete) has built an interface to LLVM from go via CGO.  Thus, you can make calls to the LLVM infrastructure/libraries from go code.  I doubt it has all the calls you would need (since LLVM is huge) but it at least has done the work of figuring how to create such an interface.

hope this helps,

That's a little beyond what I know about their interface to LLVM.    You might try their slack channel (tinygo on gophers) and ask.
