[mlir python] Add nanobind support for standalone dialects. (#117922) This PR allows out-of-tree dialects to write Python dialect modules using nanobind instead of pybind11. It may make sense to migrate in-tree dialects and some of the ODS Python infrastructure to nanobind, but that is a topic for a future change. This PR makes the following changes: * adds nanobind to the CMake and Bazel build systems. We also add robin_map to the Bazel build, which is a dependency of nanobind. * adds a PYTHON_BINDING_LIBRARY option to various CMake functions, such as declare_mlir_python_extension, allowing users to select a Python binding library. * creates a fork of mlir/include/mlir/Bindings/Python/PybindAdaptors.h named NanobindAdaptors.h. This plays the same role, using nanobind instead of pybind11. * splits CollectDiagnosticsToStringScope out of PybindAdaptors.h and into a new header mlir/include/mlir/Bindings/Python/Diagnostics.h, since it is code that is no way related to pybind11 or for that matter, Python. * changed the standalone Python extension example to have both pybind11 and nanobind variants. * changed mlir/python/mlir/dialects/python_test.py to have both pybind11 and nanobind variants. Notes: * A slightly unfortunate thing that I needed to do in the CMake integration was to use FindPython in addition to FindPython3, since nanobind's CMake integration expects the Python_ names for variables. Perhaps there's a better way to do this.
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.

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