tf32
as 19-bit float (#116738)
TF32 is a variant of F32 that is truncated to 19 bits. There used to be special handling in `FloatType::getWidth()` so that TF32 was treated as a 32-bit float in some places. (Some places use `FloatType::getWidth`, others directly query the `APFloat` semantics.) This caused problems because `FloatType::getWidth` did not agree with the underlying `APFloat` semantics. In particular, creating an elements attr / array attr with `tf32` element type crashed. E.g.: ``` "foo"() {attr = dense<4.0> : tensor<tf32>} : () -> () mlir-opt: llvm-project/llvm/lib/Support/APFloat.cpp:4108: void llvm::detail::IEEEFloat::initFromAPInt(const fltSemantics *, const APInt &): Assertion `api.getBitWidth() == Sem->sizeInBits' failed. PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ and include the crash backtrace. ``` ``` "foo"() {f32attr = array<tf32: 1024.>} : () -> () mlir-opt: llvm-project/mlir/lib/AsmParser/AttributeParser.cpp:847: void (anonymous namespace)::DenseArrayElementParser::append(const APInt &): Assertion `data.getBitWidth() % 8 == 0' failed. PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ and include the crash backtrace. ``` It is unclear why the special handling for TF32 is needed. For reference: #107372
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.
