[MLIR][Python] Forward the name of MLIR attrs to Python side (#174756)
This PR is quite similiar to #174700.
In this PR, I added a C API for each (upstream) MLIR attributes to
retrieve its name (for example, `StringAttr -> mlirStringAttrGetName()
-> "builtin.string"`), and exposed a corresponding type_name class
attribute in the Python bindings (e.g., `StringAttr.attr_name ->
"builtin.string"`). This can be used in various places to avoid
hard-coded strings, such as eliminating the manual string in
`irdl.base("#builtin.string")`.
Note that parts of this PR (mainly mechanical changes) were produced via
GitHub Copilot and GPT-5.2. I have manually reviewed the changes and
verified them with tests to ensure correctness.
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.
