[LLVMdev] LLC always has a tab?

[ryan baird]

If anyone is looking for a solution to this that doesn't involve changing
TableGen, here's what I did for now:

I overrode the rule to make this file with My own, which is basically a
copy of theirs.  I changed it to be more specific so that it would always
override, and then I added two lines to remove it from the include file
before the make process continues.

$(ObjDir)/VPOGenAsmWriter.inc.tmp : VPO.td $(ObjDir)/.dir $(LLVM_TBLGEN)
        $(Echo) "Building $(<F) assembly writer with tblgen"
        $(Verb) $(LLVMTableGen) -gen-asm-writer -o $(call SYSPATH, $@) $<
        grep -v 'O << "\\t"' $(call SYSPATH, $@) >$(call SYSPATH, $@).temp
        cp $(call SYSPATH, $@).temp $(call SYSPATH, $@)

To test it, make sure you change a related .td file so that the rule is
executed.
