💅 LLVM-TBLGEN(1) — the LLVM manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk — this is llvm-tblgen, straight out of the LLVM manual. Buckle up, we're translating target descriptions today ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

llvm-tblgen — Target Description to C++ Code for LLVM 💖 like, it takes your target description and turns it into C++ code. iconic behavior honestly.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

llvm-tblgen [options] [filename]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. options and an optional filename, no cap 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so llvm-tblgen is this program that translates compiler-related target description (.td) files into C++ code and other output formats. it's giving translator energy but make it compilers 💅

and like — most users of LLVM will not need to use this program. fr fr. it's used only for writing parts of the compiler. so if you're just out here using LLVM and not out here building LLVM, this is not your main character moment, and that's okay 😌

bestie please go read tblgen - Description to C++ Code for the deets on the filename argument and the options — including the options that are common to all *-tblgen programs. yes, all of them. they share. it's a whole family 🧚
