[Clang][NFC] Refactor `Targets.h` to make it publicly accessible (#116090) This PR is motivated by the requirements of ClangIR, which includes compilation pipelines that do not always start from the Clang driver. In these cases, accessing some target-specific information, such as obtaining a data layout string for a given target triple or querying other target details, requires foundational infrastructure like `clang::TargetInfo`. Since ClangIR is actively being upstreamed, sharing this logic across components has become essential, which leads to this PR. The function `clang::targets::AllocateTarget` serves as the factory for Clang's `TargetInfo`. To enable sharing, this PR moves `AllocateTarget` to a public header. The existing header `clang/lib/Basic/Targets.h` previously contained two parts: the `AllocateTarget` function and target-specific macro helpers. With `AllocateTarget` moved, only the macro stuff remain in `Targets.h`. To better organize the code, the macro helpers have been relocated to a new file, `clang/lib/Basic/TargetDefines.h` (essentially a rename). The original `Targets.h` now serves as a proxy header that includes both headers to maintain compatibility.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
