================
Comment at: llvm/docs/TableGen/BackEnds.rst:17
+
+TableGen is used by both LLVM and Clang with very different goals. LLVM uses
+it as a way to automate the generation of massive amounts of information
----------------
Might mention MLIR as well, which uses TableGen extensively as the basis for its ODS system:
https://mlir.llvm.org/docs/OpDefinitions/


================
Comment at: llvm/lib/TableGen/TableGenBackendSkeleton.cpp:1
+//===- [SkeletonEmitter.cpp - Skeleton TableGen backend]     -*- C++ -*-===//
+//
----------------
I think that adding an example backend is a good idea, but please make it valid C++ code that follows the coding standard etc.
