This change looks fine, but is there a reason it only affects offload-tblgen? Could other offload components also run into this issue? I'm wondering if it's possible to capture the dependency at the level of the entire runtime when multiple are being built (e.g. openmp and offload might depend on libcxx)

I'm wondering if it's possible to capture the dependency at the level of the entire runtime when multiple are being built (e.g. openmp and offload might depend on libcxx)

I was also a bit surprised, that adding this specific dependency fixes the build reproducibly (I did multiple clean builds with 100 processes). I think, that simply all other liboffload code depends on offload-tblgen ?

libomp is not affected, because we carefully avoid dependencies to a C++ runtime library.

So, this is for bootstapping with libcxx headers? It makes sense but i am wondering why it only shows up here.

I'm not completely sure, what you mean with bootstrapping here, but I would say: No!

It affects building the whole llvm-project, even when using a llvm build from the same sources (built without offload). The problem is that for compiling the runtimes, we use the clang from the outer build directory, but it doesn't have the includes available at this point.

I tried to understand the dependencies in the ninja build file. I think that all other targets in offload have a dependency on some inc files that are processes with offload-tblgen and therefore have a dependency on offload-tblgen.

I just tested, whether I can use a more general dependency and tried add_dependencies(LLVMOffload cxx-headers) + add_dependencies(omptarget cxx-headers) while removing the add_dependencies(offload-tblgen cxx-headers) dependency.
With that change, I get the same missing header issues as before.

Empirically, I would say this dependency is both necessary and sufficient.
