<br>
Do you at least accept that Triples are not usable as a way to describe the target? and that they are ambiguous and inconsistent in their meanings?<br>
<br>
> The serialization that you have planned is insufficient and doesn't take into account portability<br>
<br>
The exact serialization doesn't matter too much so long as there's room to grow it. Both my original string representation and the metadata approach that was later proposed have this capability.<br>
<br>

<br>
FWIW, my original proposal was a 'target tuple' statement to match the 'target triple' one we have today. Whatever serialization approach we choose doesn't significantly change the overall direction and has no effect on the current phase of the project. There's
no need to block the early phases of the project on small details of the later phases.<br>

<br>
What makes you say I haven't bothered to design a way to work with the assembler and the main compiler? That's one of the core concepts driving the work and working compatibly with other toolchains is the objective.<br>

I've committed this (along with the trivial clang patch) in r247683 on the grounds that I have Renato's LGTM and I don't have any pending review comments. It doesn't seem reasonable to continue to wait for Eric with no indication of when he might be able to
take a look at it. For the record, I've been waiting since July and my request last week for an indication as to when he might find time has not been replied to. Of course, post-commit review comments are still welcome and I'm happy to follow up on them.<br>
