🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

llvm-tblgen [options] [filename]

like. that's the whole vibe. options optional, filename optional, chaos guaranteed 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so llvm-tblgen is a program that translates compiler-related target description (.td) files into C++ code and other output formats 🧚

ngl, most users of LLVM will not need to use this program. fr fr. it is used only for writing parts of the compiler 👑

please see tblgen - Description to C++ Code for a description of the filename argument and options, including the options common to all *-tblgen programs 💜

ok real talk: if you're just out here using a compiler and not building one, this is not your moment and that's fine, no gatekeeping 💀
