πŸ’… clang-tblgen β€” the other tblgen πŸ’…

okay bestie, welcome to the clang-tblgen manual page, straight outta the LLVM collection (section 1, manual-girlie coded, iykyk) πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

clang-tblgen β€” Description to C++ Code for Clang πŸ¦‹

like… it literally turns descriptions into C++ code. the glow-up pipeline is real.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

clang-tblgen [options] [filename]

so it's clang-tblgen, then optionally some options, then optionally a filename. no notes. slay. πŸ’…


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's the tea, bestie πŸ“

clang-tblgen is a program that translates compiler-related target description files β€” the ones with the .td extension β€” into C++ code and other output formats. it's giving translator, it's giving codegen, it's giving main character energy ✨

but listen. most users of LLVM will not need to use this program. fr fr. it's not a casual vibe-check tool you just run for funsies β€” it's used only for writing parts of the compiler πŸ‘‘

🫢 pls also go read tblgen - Description to C++ Code for the whole rundown on the filename argument and the options, including the options that are common to all *-tblgen programs. that's where the shared lore lives, no cap.
