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 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.
