[llvm-dev] [RFC] Preferred error/note style across non-clang tools, e.g. tablegen

[Jonathan Roelofs via llvm-dev]

A question of preference came up in https://reviews.llvm.org/D83588 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D83588> as to whether we ought to prefer emitting TableGen error messages with all of the information in a single diagnostic, or whether it makes sense to split things in an error+note style as seen in many clang diagnostics. TableGen doesn’t use a DiagnosticsEngine, so the concept of a fatal note following an error is a bit new/foreign there, but perhaps something that makes sense adding.

Is there any precedence here for other internal llvm tooling (outside of clang)? What’s the general consensus here?
