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 documents.

       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 inclusion.  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 backend 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.
