  • Method Details

    • getArchitecture

      public TargetArchitecture getArchitecture()
      Description copied from interface: Target
      The Target Architecture for the output.
      Specified by:
      getArchitecture in interface Target
      Returns:
      One of the valid target architectures.

    • isSupported

      public boolean isSupported()
      Description copied from interface: Target
      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.
      Specified by:
      isSupported in interface Target
      Returns:
      true if supported and output can be generated, false otherwise.
