This commit adds support for context-aware type conversions: type
conversion rules that can return different types depending on the IR.
There is no change for existing (context-unaware) type conversion rules:
```c++
// Example: Conversion any integer type to f32.
converter.addConversion([](IntegerType t) {
return Float32Type::get(t.getContext());
}
```
There is now an additional overload to register context-aware type
conversion rules:
```c++
// Example: Type conversion rule for integers, depending on the context:
// Get the defining op of `v`, read its "increment" attribute and return an
// integer with a bitwidth that is increased by "increment".
converter.addConversion([](Value v) -> std::optional<Type> {
auto intType = dyn_cast<IntegerType>(v.getType());
if (!intType)
return std::nullopt;
Operation *op = v.getDefiningOp();
if (!op)
return std::nullopt;
auto incrementAttr = op->getAttrOfType<IntegerAttr>("increment");
if (!incrementAttr)
return std::nullopt;
return IntegerType::get(v.getContext(),
intType.getWidth() + incrementAttr.getInt());
});
```
For performance reasons, the type converter caches the result of type
conversions. This is no longer possible when there context-aware type
conversions because each conversion could compute a different type
depending on the context. There is no performance degradation when there
are only context-unaware type conversions.
Note: This commit just adds context-aware type conversions to the
dialect conversion framework. There are many existing patterns that
still call `converter.convertType(someValue.getType())`. These should be
gradually updated in subsequent commits to call
`converter.convertType(someValue)`.
