[cfe-dev] How to add target to Clang?

[Reid Kleckner]

LLVM IR isn't portable, and you will need to teach Clang about your target.
The two big things it needs to know are record layout rules and calling
convention lowering rules. Record layout should be easy, it is just the
size and alignment of basic types like pointers and i64 (4 or 8 byte
aligned?). Calling convention lowering is tricky, as you need to understand
the ABI rules for struct passing, and how you implemented them in LLVM.
