I pronounce it “ink” because it looks like all “.inc” files in LLVM are generated to be INCluded. But my friend calls it “in C”, as “inner C” or whatever. So I’m here to ask, what is the full name of “.inc” and how do you pronounce it?
LLVM stores a lot of data in table gen files:
https://llvm.org/docs/TableGen/
They are translated into C++ and often generate .inc files.
You find in many places in the code base:
#include “…/foo.inc”
They are included.
It’s “inc” as in “ink”; the C is coincidental.
