struct `Target`;
  Describes a back-end target. At present it is incomplete, but in the future it should grow to contain most or all target machine and target O/S specific information.
  In many cases, calls to sizeof() can't be used directly for getting data type sizes since cross compiling is supported and would end up using the host sizes rather than the target sizes.
  uint `ptrsize`;
    size of a pointer in bytes
  uint `realsize`;
    size a real consumes in memory
  uint `realpad`;
    padding added to the CPU real size to bring it up to realsize
  uint `realalignsize`;
    alignment for reals
  uint `classinfosize`;
    size of ClassInfo
  ulong `maxStaticDataSize`;
    maximum size of static data
  uint `c_longsize`;
    size of a C long or unsigned long type
  uint `c_long_doublesize`;
    size of a C long double
  bool `reverseCppOverloads`;
    set if overloaded functions are grouped and in reverse order (such as in dmc and cl)
  bool `cppExceptions`;
    set if catching C++ exceptions is supported
  bool `twoDtorInVtable`;
    target C++ ABI puts deleting and non-deleting destructor into vtable
  struct `FPTypeProperties`(T);
    Values representing all properties for floating point types
    real_t `max`;
      largest representable value that's not infinity
    real_t `min_normal`;
      smallest representable normalized value that's not 0
    real_t `nan`;
      NaN value
    real_t `snan`;
      signalling NaN value
    real_t `infinity`;
      infinity value
    real_t `epsilon`;
      smallest increment to the value 1
    d_int64 `dig`;
      number of decimal digits of precision
    d_int64 `mant_dig`;
      number of bits in mantissa
    d_int64 `max_exp`;
      maximum int value such that 2 `max_exp`-1 is representable
    d_int64 `min_exp`;
      minimum int value such that 2 `min_exp`-1 is representable as a normalized value
    d_int64 `max_10_exp`;
      maximum int value such that 10 `max_10_exp` is representable
    d_int64 `min_10_exp`;
      minimum int value such that 10 `min_10_exp` is representable as a normalized value
  alias `FloatProperties` = .Target.FPTypeProperties!float.FPTypeProperties;
  alias `DoubleProperties` = .Target.FPTypeProperties!double.FPTypeProperties;
  alias `RealProperties` = .Target.FPTypeProperties!real.FPTypeProperties;
  static void `_init`();
    Initialize the Target
  static uint `alignsize`(Type `type`);
    Requested target memory alignment size of the given type.
    Parameters:

    Type `type` | type to inspect

    Returns:
    alignment in bytes
  static uint `fieldalign`(Type `type`);
    Requested target field alignment size of the given type.
    Parameters:

    Type `type` | type to inspect

    Returns:
    alignment in bytes
  static uint `critsecsize`();
    Size of the target OS critical section.
    Returns:
    size in bytes
  static Type `va_listType`();
    Type for the va_list type for the target.

    NOTE For Posix/x86_64 this returns the type which will really be used for passing an argument of type va_list.

    Returns:
    Type that represents va_list.
  static int `isVectorTypeSupported`(int `sz`, Type `type`);
    Checks whether the target supports a vector type.
    Parameters:

    int `sz` | vector type size in bytes
    Type `type` | vector element type

    Returns:
    0 vector type is supported, 1 vector type is not supported on the target at all 2 vector element type is not supported 3 vector size is not supported
  static bool `isVectorOpSupported`(Type `type`, TOK `op`, Type `t2` = null);
    Checks whether the target supports the given operation for vectors.
    Parameters:

    Type `type` | target type of operation
    TOK `op` | the unary or binary op being done on the `type`
    Type `t2` | type of second operand if `op` is a binary operation

    Returns:
    true if the operation is supported or type is not a vector
  static const(char)* `toCppMangle`(Dsymbol `s`);
    Mangle the given symbol for C++ ABI.
    Parameters:

    Dsymbol `s` | declaration with C++ linkage

    Returns:
    string mangling of symbol
  static const(char)* `cppTypeInfoMangle`(ClassDeclaration `cd`);
    Get RTTI mangling of the given class declaration for C++ ABI.
    Parameters:

    ClassDeclaration `cd` | class with C++ linkage

    Returns:
    string mangling of C++ typeinfo
  static const(char)* `cppTypeMangle`(Type `t`);
    Gets vendor-specific type mangling for C++ ABI.
    Parameters:

    Type `t` | type to inspect

    Returns:
    string if type is mangled specially on target null if unhandled
  static Type `cppParameterType`(Parameter `p`);
    Get the type that will really be used for passing the given argument to an extern(C++) function.
    Parameters:

    Parameter `p` | parameter to be passed.

    Type to use for parameter `p`.
  static LINK `systemLinkage`();
    Default system linkage for the target.
    Returns:
