✨ LLVM-TBLGEN(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the LLVM manual page for llvm-tblgen 💖 this is the LLVM one, and it's giving "secret compiler internals" energy, so buckle up 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

llvm-tblgen — Target Description to C++ Code for LLVM 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

llvm-tblgen [options] [filename]

that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨ options in brackets, filename in brackets, both optional-ish, iykyk 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so like, llvm-tblgen is a program that translates compiler-related target description (.td) files into C++ code and other output formats. it's the little translator goblin of the LLVM world 🧚

ngl, most users of LLVM will not need to use this program. it is used only for writing parts of the compiler. so if you're just out here compiling your little C++ project, this is not your girl, no cap 💀

but if you are writing parts of the compiler? then periodt, she's your main character 👑

also, please go see tblgen - Description to C++ Code <> for a description of the filename argument and options, including the options common to all *-tblgen programs 💖 like, that's where the shared lore lives, fr fr 📖
