MLIR-TBLGEN(1)

👑 MLIR-TBLGEN(1) — the LLVM manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about mlir-tblgen. it's giving compiler-toolchain royalty, it's from the LLVM manual (section 1, the user commands section, iykyk), and yes it has a whole entire job. let's get into it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

mlir-tblgen — Description to C++ Code for MLIR 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mlir-tblgen [options] [filename]

that's it. that's the whole summoning circle. 🌸

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so mlir-tblgen is a program that translates compiler-related target description files — the ones ending in .td — into C++ code and other output formats. it's a translator. a glow-up machine. input goes in, blessed C++ comes out. 💅

now here's the tea tho: most users of LLVM will not need to use this program. like, at all. fr fr. it is used only for writing parts of the compiler. so if you're just out here living your life compiling things, this is not your problem and you can absolutely scroll past. 🙈

if you do need the details on the filename argument and the options — including the options that are common to every single *-tblgen program out there — please go read tblgen - Description to C++ Code for. it's the mothership, it has the shared lore, and it explains the stuff that's identical across the whole *-tblgen family. no cap. 📚✨

heads up: the filename argument and the options in the synopsis above are described over in that tblgen - Description to C++ Code for page, not here. don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 🫶
