The first problem to fix is to stop creating synthetic *Table_gen
targets next to all of the LLVM libraries. These had no real effect as
CMake specifies that add_custom_command(OUTPUT ...) directives (what the
'tablegen(...)' stuff expands to) are implicitly added as dependencies
to all the rules in that CMakeLists.txt.
These synthetic rules started to cause problems as we started more and
more heavily using tablegen files from *subdirectories* of the one where
they were generated. Within those directories, the set of tablegen
outputs was still available and so these synthetic rules added them as
dependencies of those subdirectories. However, they were no longer
properly associated with the custom command to generate them. Most of
the time this "just worked" because something would get to the parent
directory first, and run tablegen there. Once run, the files existed and
the build proceeded happily. However, as more and more subdirectories
have started using this, the probability of this failing to happen has
increased. Recently with the MC refactorings, it became quite common for
me when touching a large enough number of targets.
To add insult to injury, several of the backends *tried* to fix this by
adding explicit dependencies back to the parent directory's tablegen
rules, but those dependencies didn't work as expected -- they weren't
forming a linear chain, they were adding another thread in the race.
This patch removes these synthetic rules completely, and adds a much
simpler function to declare explicitly that a collection of tablegen'ed
files are referenced by other libraries. From that, we can add explicit
dependencies from the smaller libraries (such as every architectures
Desc library) on this and correctly form a linear sequence. All of the
backends are updated to use it, sometimes replacing the existing attempt
at adding a dependency, sometimes adding a previously missing dependency
edge.
Please let me know if this causes any problems, but it fixes a rather
persistent and problematic source of build flakiness on our end.

target machine from those that are only needed by codegen. The goal is to
sink the essential target description into MC layer so we can start building
MC based tools without needing to link in the entire codegen.
First step is to refactor TargetRegisterInfo. This patch added a base class
MCRegisterInfo which TargetRegisterInfo is derived from. Changed TableGen to
separate register description from the rest of the stuff.

of testing for its presence at cmake time.
This way the build automatically regenerates the makefiles when a svn
update brings in a new sublibrary.

directly on the mac. This is very early, doesn't support relocations and
has a terrible hack to avoid .machine from being printed, but despite
that it generates an bitwise-identical-to-cctools .o file for stuff like
this:
define i32 @test() nounwind { ret i32 42 }
I don't plan to continue pushing this forward, but if anyone else was
interested in doing it, it should be really straight-forward.

LSDA into the TEXT section. We need to generate non-lazy pointers to it on
Mach-O. However, the object the NLP points to may be local to the translation
unit. If so, then the NLP needs to have the value of that object specified
instead of "0", which the linker interprets as "external".
