@@ -96,6 +100,47 @@ the ``<cmath>`` header file to conditionally make a function constexpr whenever
 the constant evaluation of the corresponding builtin (for example,
 ``std::fmax`` calls ``__builtin_fmax``) is supported in Clang.
 
+``__has_target_builtin``
+------------------------
+
+This function-like macro takes a single identifier argument that is the name of
+a builtin function, a builtin pseudo-function (taking one or more type
+arguments), or a builtin template.
+It evaluates to 1 if the builtin is supported on the current target or 0 if not.
+
+``__has_builtin`` and ``__has_target_builtin`` behave identically for normal C++ compilations.

Users don't typically think in terms of "parsed" and "codegenned", but more "works" and "doesn't work", which I think means "codegenned" in general. The line we're drawing here is pretty subtle, so perhaps more real world examples would help; it's hard to understand why a builtin can be parsed but cannot be used.
