On my side on this topic I already checked this situation, yes looks protected well.

As sidenote here, on this topic opened by you:
* In case of ```createTargetMachine```, notice the -mcpu="" (second argument), it will force to **return all target information**. If you specify i.e. "sandybridge" than you can only access list of features and descriptions only related to "sandybridge" subarchtecture / subset .
* I really hope LLVM will keep this (-mcpu="" => ALL) , and not cut it out (some developer will think is a "safer" API), otherwise it will be impossible to query LLVM features of **a whole target**.
LLVM looks (to humble me) very dynamic with frequent API changes, my point here is a "utilitarian view" as external user I would like to take benefits and features through API.
