Transform interfaces are implemented, direction or via extensions, in
libraries belonging to multiple other dialects. Those dialects don't
need to depend on the non-interface part of the transform dialect, which
includes the growing number of ops and transitive dependency footprint.
Split out the interfaces into a separate library. This in turn requires
flipping the dependency from the interface on the dialect that has crept
in because both co-existed in one library. The interface shouldn't
depend on the transform dialect either.
As a consequence of splitting, the capability of the interpreter to
automatically walk the payload IR to identify payload ops of a certain
kind based on the type used for the entry point symbol argument is
disabled. This is a good move by itself as it simplifies the interpreter
logic. This functionality can be trivially replaced by a
`transform.structured.match` operation.
Use the "main" transform-interpreter pass instead of the test pass.
This, along with the previously introduced debug extension, now allow
tutorials to no longer depend on test passes and extensions.
Update most test passes to use the transform-interpreter pass instead of
the test-transform-dialect-interpreter-pass. The new "main" interpreter
pass has a named entry point instead of looking up the top-level op with
`PossibleTopLevelOpTrait`, which is arguably a more understandable
interface. The change is mechanical, rewriting an unnamed sequence into
a named one and wrapping the transform IR in to a module when necessary.
Add an option to the transform-interpreter pass to target a tagged
payload op instead of the root anchor op, which is also useful for repro
generation.
Only the test in the transform dialect proper and the examples have not
been updated yet. These will be updated separately after a more careful
consideration of testing coverage of the transform interpreter logic.
This PR fixes the two recently added passes from #68661, which were
non-functional and untested. In particular:
* The passes did not declare their dependent dialects, so they could not
run at all in the most simple cases.
* The mechanism of loading the library module in the initialization of
the intepreter pass is broken by design (but, fortunately, also not
necessary). This is because the initialization of all passes happens
before the execution of any other pass, so the "preload library" pass
has not run yet at the time the interpreter pass gets initialized.
Instead, the library is now loaded every time the interpreter pass is
run. This should not be exceedingly expensive, since it only consists of
looking up the library in the dialect. Also, this removes the library
module from the pass state, making it possible in the future to preload
libraries in several passes.
* The PR adds tests for the two passes, which were completely untested
previously.
This revision provides the ability to use an arbitrary named sequence op
as
the entry point to a transform dialect strategy.
It is also a step towards better transform dialect usage in pass
pipelines
that need to preload a transform library rather thanparse it on the fly.
The interpreter itself is significantly simpler than its testing
counterpart
by avoiding payload/debug root tags and multiple shared modules.
In the process, the NamedSequenceOp::apply function is adapted to allow
it
being an entry point.
NamedSequenceOp is **not** extended to take the PossibleTopLevelTrait at
this
time, because the implementation of the trait is specific to allowing
one
top-level dangling op with a region such as SequenceOp or
AlternativesOp.
In particular, the verifier of PossibleTopLevelTrait does not allow for
an
empty body, which is necessary to declare a NamedSequenceOp that gets
linked
in separately before application.
In the future, we should dispense with the PossibleTopLevelTrait
altogether
and always enter the interpreter with a NamedSequenceOp.
Lastly, relevant TD linking utilities are moved to
TransformInterpreterUtils
and reused from there.
