CLANG-TBLGEN(1)

πŸ’… CLANG-TBLGEN(1) β€” the LLVM manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk: this is a page from the LLVM manual set, and it's giving very niche-compiler-intern energy. Let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

clang-tblgen β€” literally "Description to C++ Code for Clang," no cap πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

clang-tblgen [options] [filename]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So clang-tblgen is this program that translates compiler-related target description files β€” the .td files, yep those β€” into C++ code and other output formats ✨

And like, hear me when I say this: most users of LLVM will not need to use this program. It is used only for writing parts of the compiler. It's giving "backstage pass, not general admission" πŸ’…

Please see tblgen - Description to C++ Code for a description of the filename argument and options, including the options common to all *-tblgen programs πŸ‘‘ iykyk
