ConvertIllegalShapeCastOpsToTransposes (#139706)
As a follow-up to PR #135841 (see discussion for background), this patch removes the `ConvertIllegalShapeCastOpsToTransposes` pattern from the SME legalization pass. This change unblocks folding for ShapeCastOp involving scalable vectors. Originally, the `ConvertIllegalShapeCastOpsToTransposes` pattern was introduced to rewrite certain `vector.shape_cast` ops that could not be lowered otherwise. Based on local end-to-end testing, this workaround is no longer required, and the pattern can now be safely removed. This patch also removes a special case from `ShapeCastOp::fold`, simplifying the fold logic. As a side effect of removing `ConvertIllegalShapeCastOpsToTransposes`, we lose the mechanism that enabled lowering of certain ops like: ```mlir %res = vector.transfer_read %mem[%a, %b] (...) : memref<?x?xf32>, vector<[4]x1xf32> ``` Previously, such cases were handled by: * Rewriting a nearby `vector.shape_cast` to a `vector.transpose` (via `ConvertIllegalShapeCastOpsToTransposes`) * Then lowering the result with `LiftIllegalVectorTransposeToMemory`. This patch introduces a new dedicated pattern, `LowerColumnTransferReadToLoops`, that directly handles illegal `vector.transfer_read` ops involving leading scalable dimensions.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
