Host machine information (host_machine
extends build_machine
)
Provides information about the host machine -- the machine on which the compiled binary will run. See Cross-compilation.
It has the same methods as build_machine
.
When not cross-compiling, all the methods return the same values as
build_machine
(because the build machine is the host machine)
Note that while cross-compiling, it simply returns the values defined in the cross-info file.
