Agree that it is no needed for this PR. But for easier future integration of Z Os support, I have changed the name to `isSupportedTarget`. We can remove the funciton all together if it is not required. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/178184 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list [email protected] https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
