💅 clang-tblgen 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to the man page for clang-tblgen — that's the LLVM one, and it's giving very niche compiler-internals energy. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

clang-tblgen — Description to C++ Code for Clang

like, literally the whole vibe: it takes descriptions and turns them into C++ code. iconic behavior honestly 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

clang-tblgen [options] [filename]

that's it. options first, filename if you feel like it, filename is optional bestie, no cap ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea 🍓: clang-tblgen is a program that translates compiler-related target description (.td) files into C++ code and other output formats. it's a whole translator for compiler nerds, and honestly? we respect it.

and here's the important part: most users of LLVM will not need to use this program. like, at all. it is used only for writing parts of the compiler. so if you're just out here living your life and using LLVM, this is not your moment, bestie — this is for the people actually building the compiler 💅

also!! please see tblgen - Description to C++ Code for a description of the filename argument and the options, including the options common to all *-tblgen programs. that's the blueprint, iykyk 👑
