tblgen: Target Description To C++ Code Generator

NAME

tblgen - Target Description To C++ Code Generator

SYNOPSIS

tblgen [options] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

tblgen translates from target description (.td) files into C++ code that can be included in the definition of an LLVM target library. Most users of LLVM will not need to use this program. It is only for assisting with writing an LLVM target backend.

The input and output of tblgen is beyond the scope of this short introduction. Please see the CodeGeneration page in the LLVM documentation.

The filename argument specifies the name of a Target Description (.td) file to read as input.

OPTIONS

-help

Print a summary of command line options.

-o filename

Specify the output file name. If filename is "-", then tblgen sends its output to standard output.

-I directory

Specify where to find other target description files for inclusion. The directory value should be a full or partial path to a directory that contains target description files.

-asmwriternum N

Make -gen-asm-writer emit assembly writer number N.

-class class Name

Print the enumeration list for this class.

-print-records

Print all records to standard output (default).

-print-enums

Print enumeration values for a class

-gen-emitter

Generate machine code emitter.

-gen-register-enums

Generate the enumeration values for all registers.

-gen-register-desc

Generate a register info description for each register.

-gen-register-desc-header

Generate a register info description header for each register.

-gen-instr-enums

Generate enumeration values for instructions.

-gen-instr-desc

Generate instruction descriptions.

-gen-asm-writer

Generate the assembly writer.

-gen-dag-isel

Generate a DAG (Directed Acycle Graph) instruction selector.

-gen-subtarget

Generate subtarget enumerations.

-gen-intrinsic

Generate intrinsic information.

-version

Show the version number of this program.

EXIT STATUS
