Pin Like Tool for compile time injection of instrumentation code

As you might know, PIN is a dynamic binary instrumentation tool. By using Pin for example, I can instrument every load and store in my application. I was wondering If there is a similar tool which injects code at compile time (Using a higher level of information, not requiring us to write the LLVM pass), rather than at runtime like Pin. I am especially interested for such kind of tool for LLVM.

You could write LLVM passes of your own and apply them on your code to "instrument" it during compile time. These work on LLVM IR and produce LLVM IR, so for some tasks this will be a very natural thing to do and for other tasks it might be cumbersome or difficult (because of the differences between LLVM and IR and the source language). It depends.
