NAME
tblgen - Description to C++ Code
SYNOPSIS
clang-tblgen [options] [filename]
lldb-tblgen [options] [filename]
llvm-tblgen [options] [filename]
mlir-tblgen [options] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
*-tblgen is a family of programs that translates target description
(.td) files into C++ code and other output formats. Most users of LLVM
will not need to use this program. It is used only for writing parts of
the compiler, debugger, and LLVM target backends.
The details of the input and output of the *-tblgen programs is beyond
the scope of this short introduction; please see the TableGen Overview
for an introduction and for references to additional TableGen docu-
ments.
The filename argument specifies the name of the Target Description
(.td) file that TableGen processes.
OPTIONS
General Options
-help Print a description of the command line options.
-help-list
Print a description of the command line options in a simple list
format.
-D=macroname
Specify the name of a macro to be defined. The name is defined,
but it has no particular value.
-d=filename
Specify the name of the dependency filename.
-debug Enable debug output.
-dump-json
Print a JSON representation of all records, suitable for further
automated processing.
-I directory
Specify where to find other target description files for inclu-
sion. The directory value should be a full or partial path to a
directory that contains target description files.
-null-backend
Parse the source files and build the records, but do not run any
backend. This is useful for timing the frontend.
-o filename
Specify the output file name. If filename is -, then *-tblgen
sends its output to standard output.
-print-records
Print all classes and records to standard output (default back-
end option).
-print-detailed-records
Print a detailed report of all global variables, classes, and
records to standard output.
-stats Print a report with any statistics collected by the backend.
-time-phases
Time the parser and backend phases and print a report.
-version
Show the version number of the program.
-write-if-changed
Write the output file only if it is new or has changed.
