MLIR-TBLGEN(1)

MLIR-TBLGEN(1) πŸ’…βœ¨

okay so bestie, you found a page from the LLVM manual set β€” this one is mlir-tblgen, and we're gonna go through it together. no skimming, no skipping, we're doing the whole thing πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

mlir-tblgen β€” Description to C++ Code for MLIR

like. the name literally tells you the vibe. it's giving "turn your description into C++" πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mlir-tblgen [options] [filename]

that's it. that's the whole shape of it. options first if you got 'em, then the filename 🫢


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so mlir-tblgen is this program that takes compiler-related target description files β€” the ones with the .td extension β€” and translates them into C++ code and other output formats. that's the whole job. that's what it does. slay πŸ’…

now here's the tea tho: most users of LLVM will not need to use this program. like, at all. ngl it is only used for writing parts of the compiler. so if you're just out here using LLVM and you stumbled onto this page β€” you can literally close the tab, bestie, you're fine 😭

but if you ARE the person writing parts of the compiler?? then this is your moment. main character energy fr fr.

also, for the deets on the filename argument and the options β€” including the options that are common to all *-tblgen programs β€” you wanna go look at tblgen - Description to C++ Code for. that's where the shared lore lives πŸ“–βœ¨
