My point is simply that Jason’s situation (baremetal) is one that is not even expressible by the Triple syntax. As long as there’s some enum value that describes the situation (of which unknown is a valid choice), the problem goes away.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We current use a "specified unknown" (where enum and string are unknown) to mean "none", which is what we use to say specify bare metal (no OS). I am happy to change that though. If we change this, then a few people's workflows might have
to change where they used to say "armv7-apple-unknown" to "armv7-apple-none". Not a big deal since not many people are using LLDB for bare board debugging right now, but something we will need to document.<o:p></o:p></p>

we can have these marked as "compatible" with any other value in the case Adrian is looking at.<br>

Sounds good to me.<br>
<br>
As another data point, it is usually impossible to tell from looking at <br>
an ELF file which os it is intended to run on. You can tell the <br>
architecture because it's right in the elf header, but that's about it. <br>
Some OSs get around this by adding a special section like <br>
.this.is.an.android.binary, but not all of them. So in general, we need <br>
to be able to say "I have no idea which OS is this binary intended for".<br>
