[cfe-dev] How to add target to Clang?

[Anton Smirnov]

Hi, Reid.

Thanks for replying.

I've found Attr.td and Targets.cpp filse to add AVR-specific attributes and
AVR TargetInfo.
You're absolutely right and i should just consult AVR datasheets to write
correct types sizes and so on.

Are there any other files to modufy to add AVR support?

Regards, Anton.
