💅 NAME 💅

okay so llvm-tblgen — it's literally Target Description to C++ Code for LLVM. that's the whole vibe. girl turns target descriptions into C++ and we're obsessed 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

llvm-tblgen [options] [filename]

like, options first, filename optional, we love a flexible queen 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay bestie, here's the tea: llvm-tblgen is a program that translates compiler-related target description (.td) files into C++ code and other output formats. no cap, that's its whole job and it ate 🔥

real talk though — most users of LLVM will not need to use this program. it's used only for writing parts of the compiler. so if you're just out here using LLVM normally, you can lowkey ignore this whole page. iykyk 🙈

💀 friendly heads up: this one's for the compiler devs, not the general population.

also please see tblgen - Description to C++ Code for a description of the filename argument and options, including the options common to all *-tblgen programs. that's where the shared lore lives 🧚
