At present, a lot of code contains main function bodies like "return failed(mlir::MlirOptMain(...);". This is unfortunate for two reasons: a) it uses ADL, which is maybe not what the free "failed" function was designed for; and b) it is a bit awkward to read, requring the reader to both understand the boolean nature of the value and the semantics of main's return value. (And it's also not portable, since 1 is not a portable success value.) The replacement code, `return mlir::AsMainReturnCode(mlir::MlirOptMain(...))` is a bit more self-explanatory. The change applies the new function to a few internal uses of MlirOptMain, too. Reviewed By: mehdi_amini Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D102641
An out-of-tree MLIR dialect
This is an example of an out-of-tree MLIR dialect along with a standalone opt-like tool to operate on that dialect.
Building
This setup assumes that you have built LLVM and MLIR in $BUILD_DIR and installed them to $PREFIX. To build and launch the tests, run
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G Ninja .. -DMLIR_DIR=$PREFIX/lib/cmake/mlir -DLLVM_EXTERNAL_LIT=$BUILD_DIR/bin/llvm-lit
cmake --build . --target check-standalone
To build the documentation from the TableGen description of the dialect operations, run
cmake --build . --target mlir-doc
Note: Make sure to pass -DLLVM_INSTALL_UTILS=ON when building LLVM with CMake in order to install FileCheck to the chosen installation prefix.
