Title

Targets: synchronizing Clang & rustc

Author

Miguel Ojeda [email protected]

Abstract

In an ideal world, all compilers and related tools would agree on the way to represent a target. For instance, Clang uses target triples plus a set of flags that allow further customization; while rustc uses target files. This topic discusses the current approach and potential avenues to improve it in the kernel build system or the compilers.

Estimated duration of talk (optional)

~15 minutes.
