<p>Well the code I was looking at was making assumptions about what the backend will decide about procedure calls, so why not ask the backend? I haven't looked at the target classes in Clang in a long time, but just having a quick look now there still appears
to be duplication with LLVM's target machine and subtargets, at least for ARM anyway. For instance, the triple is used for ABI and data layout calculations and there's no end of flags for features. I guess I must be missing something, but it just seems odd
and harder to maintain having two descriptions of the targets.</p>

Exposing the raw target information would be dangerous, most of the<br>
target info in Clang is derived from the Triple and compiler flags.<br>
<br>
What do you have in mind?<br>
