  • Method Details

    • getArchitecture

      TargetArchitecture getArchitecture()
      The Target Architecture for the output.
      Returns:
      One of the valid target architectures.

    • isSupported

      boolean isSupported()
      Is this target actually supported. While the developer may have specified a valid TargetArchitecture, the necessary components may not be available. So for example, if the developer had specified LLVM as the target output (and hence some form of binary as a result), it will be necessary for that developer to have llvm installed (at the right level) and to be accessible.
      Returns:
      true if supported and output can be generated, false otherwise.
