| This is a library for managing targets for compilers and related tools. |
| |
| Currently, the main feature is support for decoding "triples", which |
| are strings that identify a particular target configuration. They're named |
| "triples" because historically they contained three fields, though over time |
| they've added additional fields. This library provides a `Triple` struct |
| containing enums for each of fields of a triple. `Triple` implements |
| `FromStr` and `fmt::Display` so it can be converted to and from the |
| conventional string representation of a triple. |
| |
| `Triple` also has functions for querying a triple's endianness, |
| pointer bit width, and binary format. |
| |
| And, `Triple` and the enum types have `host()` constructors, for targeting |
| the host. |
| |
| It supports all triples currently used by rustc and rustup. |
| |
| It does not support reading JSON target files itself. To use it with a JSON |
| target file, construct a `Triple` using the value of the "llvm-target" field. |
