This new features enabled to dedicate custom storage inline within operations.
This storage can be used as an alternative to attributes to store data that is
specific to an operation. Attribute can also be stored inside the properties
storage if desired, but any kind of data can be present as well. This offers
a way to store and mutate data without uniquing in the Context like Attribute.
See the OpPropertiesTest.cpp for an example where a struct with a
std::vector<> is attached to an operation and mutated in-place:
struct TestProperties {
int a = -1;
float b = -1.;
std::vector<int64_t> array = {-33};
};
More complex scheme (including reference-counting) are also possible.
The only constraint to enable storing a C++ object as "properties" on an
operation is to implement three functions:
- convert from the candidate object to an Attribute
- convert from the Attribute to the candidate object
- hash the object
Optional the parsing and printing can also be customized with 2 extra
functions.
A new options is introduced to ODS to allow dialects to specify:
let usePropertiesForAttributes = 1;
When set to true, the inherent attributes for all the ops in this dialect
will be using properties instead of being stored alongside discardable
attributes.
The TestDialect showcases this feature.
Another change is that we introduce new APIs on the Operation class
to access separately the inherent attributes from the discardable ones.
We envision deprecating and removing the `getAttr()`, `getAttrsDictionary()`,
and other similar method which don't make the distinction explicit, leading
to an entirely separate namespace for discardable attributes.

Add method to set a desired bytecode file format to generate. Change
write method to be able to return status including the minimum bytecode
version needed by reader. This enables generating an older version of
the bytecode (not dialect ops, attributes or types). But this does not
guarantee that an older version can always be generated, e.g., if a
dialect uses a new encoding only available at later bytecode version.
This clamps setting to at most current version.

Currently the bindings only allow for parsing IR with a top-level
`builtin.module` op, since the parse APIs insert an implicit module op.
This change adds `Operation.parse`, which returns whatever top-level op
is actually in the source.
To simplify parsing of specific operations, `OpView.parse` is also
added, which handles the error checking for `OpView` subclasses.

This patch removes the `type` field from `Attribute` along with the
`Attribute::getType` accessor.
Going forward, this means that attributes in MLIR will no longer have
types as a first-class concept. This patch lays the groundwork to
incrementally remove or refactor code that relies on generic attributes
being typed. The immediate impact will be on attributes that rely on
`Attribute` containing a type, such as `IntegerAttr`,
`DenseElementsAttr`, and `ml_program::ExternAttr`, which will now need
to define a type parameter on their storage classes. This will save
memory as all other attribute kinds will no longer contain a type.
Moreover, it will not be possible to generically query the type of an
attribute directly. This patch provides an attribute interface
`TypedAttr` that implements only one method, `getType`, which can be
used to generically query the types of attributes that implement the
interface. This interface can be used to retain the concept of a "typed
attribute". The ODS-generated accessor for a `type` parameter
automatically implements this method.
Next steps will be to refactor the assembly formats of certain operations
that rely on `parseAttribute(type)` and `printAttributeWithoutType` to
remove special handling of type elision until `type` can be removed from
the dialect parsing hook entirely; and incrementally remove uses of
`TypedAttr`.

The current Parser library is solely focused on providing API for
the textual MLIR format, but MLIR will soon also provide a binary
format. This commit renames the current Parser library to AsmParser to
better correspond to what the library is actually intended for. A new
Parser library is added which will act as a unified parser interface
between both text and binary formats. Most parser clients are
unaffected, given that the unified interface is essentially the same as
the current interface. Only clients that rely on utilizing the
AsmParserState, or those that want to parse Attributes/Types need to be
updated to point to the AsmParser library.

Since the very first commits, the Python and C MLIR APIs have had mis-placed registration/load functionality for dialects, extensions, etc. This was done pragmatically in order to get bootstrapped and then just grew in. Downstreams largely bypass and do their own thing by providing various APIs to register things they need. Meanwhile, the C++ APIs have stabilized around this and it would make sense to follow suit.
The thing we have observed in canonical usage by downstreams is that each downstream tends to have native entry points that configure its installation to its preferences with one-stop APIs. This patch leans in to this approach with `RegisterEverything.h` and `mlir._mlir_libs._mlirRegisterEverything` being the one-stop entry points for the "upstream packages". The `_mlir_libs.__init__.py` now allows customization of the environment and Context by adding "initialization modules" to the `_mlir_libs` package. If present, `_mlirRegisterEverything` is treated as such a module. Others can be added by downstreams by adding a `_site_initialize_{i}.py` module, where '{i}' is a number starting with zero. The number will be incremented and corresponding module loaded until one is not found. Initialization modules can:
* Perform load time customization to the global environment (i.e. registering passes, hooks, etc).
* Define a `register_dialects(registry: DialectRegistry)` function that can extend the `DialectRegistry` that will be used to bootstrap the `Context`.
* Define a `context_init_hook(context: Context)` function that will be added to a list of callbacks which will be invoked after dialect registration during `Context` initialization.
Note that the `MLIRPythonExtension.RegisterEverything` is not included by default when building a downstream (its corresponding behavior was prior). For downstreams which need the default MLIR initialization to take place, they must add this back in to their Python CMake build just like they add their own components (i.e. to `add_mlir_python_common_capi_library` and `add_mlir_python_modules`). It is perfectly valid to not do this, in which case, only the things explicitly depended on and initialized by downstreams will be built/packaged. If the downstream has not been set up for this, it is recommended to simply add this back for the time being and pay the build time/package size cost.
CMake changes:
* `MLIRCAPIRegistration` -> `MLIRCAPIRegisterEverything` (renamed to signify what it does and force an evaluation: a number of places were incidentally linking this very expensive target)
* `MLIRPythonSoure.Passes` removed (without replacement: just drop)
* `MLIRPythonExtension.AllPassesRegistration` removed (without replacement: just drop)
* `MLIRPythonExtension.Conversions` removed (without replacement: just drop)
* `MLIRPythonExtension.Transforms` removed (without replacement: just drop)
Header changes:
* `mlir-c/Registration.h` is deleted. Dialect registration functionality is now in `IR.h`. Registration of upstream features are in `mlir-c/RegisterEverything.h`. When updating MLIR and a couple of downstreams, I found that proper usage was commingled so required making a choice vs just blind S&R.
Python APIs removed:
* mlir.transforms and mlir.conversions (previously only had an __init__.py which indirectly triggered `mlirRegisterTransformsPasses()` and `mlirRegisterConversionPasses()` respectively). Downstream impact: Remove these imports if present (they now happen as part of default initialization).
* mlir._mlir_libs._all_passes_registration, mlir._mlir_libs._mlirTransforms, mlir._mlir_libs._mlirConversions. Downstream impact: None expected (these were internally used).
C-APIs changed:
* mlirRegisterAllDialects(MlirContext) now takes an MlirDialectRegistry instead. It also used to trigger loading of all dialects, which was already marked with a TODO to remove -- it no longer does, and for direct use, dialects must be explicitly loaded. Downstream impact: Direct C-API users must ensure that needed dialects are loaded or call `mlirContextLoadAllAvailableDialects(MlirContext)` to emulate the prior behavior. Also see the `ir.c` test case (e.g. ` mlirContextGetOrLoadDialect(ctx, mlirStringRefCreateFromCString("func"));`).
* mlirDialectHandle* APIs were moved from Registration.h (which now is restricted to just global/upstream registration) to IR.h, arguably where it should have been. Downstream impact: include correct header (likely already doing so).
C-APIs added:
* mlirContextLoadAllAvailableDialects(MlirContext): Corresponds to C++ API with the same purpose.
Python APIs added:
* mlir.ir.DialectRegistry: Mapping for an MlirDialectRegistry.
* mlir.ir.Context.append_dialect_registry(MlirDialectRegistry)
* mlir.ir.Context.load_all_available_dialects()
* mlir._mlir_libs._mlirAllRegistration: New native extension that exposes a `register_dialects(MlirDialectRegistry)` entry point and performs all upstream pass/conversion/transforms registration on init. In this first step, we eagerly load this as part of the __init__.py and use it to monkey patch the Context to emulate prior behavior.
* Type caster and capsule support for MlirDialectRegistry
This should make it possible to build downstream Python dialects that only depend on a subset of MLIR. See: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56037
Here is an example PR, minimally adapting IREE to these changes: https://github.com/iree-org/iree/pull/9638/files In this situation, IREE is opting to not link everything, since it is already configuring the Context to its liking. For projects that would just like to not think about it and pull in everything, add `MLIRPythonExtension.RegisterEverything` to the list of Python sources getting built, and the old behavior will continue.

The current implementation is quite clunky; OperationName stores either an Identifier
or an AbstractOperation that corresponds to an operation. This has several problems:
* OperationNames created before and after an operation are registered are different
* Accessing the identifier name/dialect/etc. from an OperationName are overly branchy
- they need to dyn_cast a PointerUnion to check the state
This commit refactors this such that we create a single information struct for every
operation name, even operations that aren't registered yet. When an OperationName is
created for an unregistered operation, we only populate the name field. When the
operation is registered, we populate the remaining fields. With this we now have two
new classes: OperationName and RegisteredOperationName. These both point to the
same underlying operation information struct, but only RegisteredOperationName can
assume that the operation is actually registered. This leads to a much cleaner API, and
we can also move some AbstractOperation functionality directly to OperationName.

Identifier and StringAttr essentially serve the same purpose, i.e. to hold a string value. Keeping these seemingly identical pieces of functionality separate has caused problems in certain situations:
* Identifier has nice accessors that StringAttr doesn't
* Identifier can't be used as an Attribute, meaning strings are often duplicated between Identifier/StringAttr (e.g. in PDL)
The only thing that Identifier has that StringAttr doesn't is support for caching a dialect that is referenced by the string (e.g. dialect.foo). This functionality is added to StringAttr, as this is useful for StringAttr in generally the same ways it was useful for Identifier.
