[MLIR][GPU] Reject nested symbol references in gpu-kernel-outlining (#188994) Nested symbol references (e.g. `@module::@func`) inside a `gpu.launch` body cannot be resolved after the body is outlined into a new `gpu.module`. Previously, `createKernelModule` used `getLeafReference()` to look up each symbol use, which silently skipped nested references when the leaf name could not be found in the parent symbol table. This left unresolvable cross-module references in the outlined kernel. This patch detects nested symbol references whose root exists in the parent symbol table — meaning the reference was valid before outlining but will become dangling after it — and emits a diagnostic error. Phantom references whose root does not exist in the parent are left as-is, preserving existing behavior for unregistered-op attributes (regression test from #185357). The existing `@nested_launch` test was inadvertently testing this broken behavior (silently producing invalid IR with a dangling `@nested_launch_kernel::@nested_launch_kernel` reference inside the outlined outer kernel module); it is updated to expect the new error. Fixes #187942 Assisted-by: Claude Code
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.
