[mlir][memref] Define interfaces for ops that access memrefs at an index (#177013) This commit defines interfaces for operations that perform certain kinds of indexed access on a memref. These interfaces are defined so that passes like fold-memref-alias-ops and the memref flattener can be made generic over operations that, informally, have the forms `op ... %m[%i0, %i1, ...] ...` (an IndexedAccessOpInterface) or the form `op %src[%s0, %s1, ...], %dst[%d0, %d1, ...] size ...` (an IndexedMemCopyOpInterface). These interfaces have been designed such that all the passes under MemRef/Transforms that currently have a big switch-case on memref.load, vector.load, nvgpu.ldmatrix, etc. can be migrated to use them. (This'll also let us get rid of the awkward fact that we have memref transforms depending on the GPU and NVGPU dialects) While the interface doesn't currently contemplate changing element types (enabling, for example, writing a bf16 => u16 update to be done in place), future extensions to allow such transformations could be worth exploring. This commit only defines the interfaces so that it'll be easier to review the design - the implementation is in a future PR. --------- Co-authored-by: Jakub Kuderski <jakub@nod-labs.com>
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.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
