[MLIR][Python] remove `liveOperations` (#155114) Historical context: `PyMlirContext::liveOperations` was an optimization meant to cut down on the number of Python object allocations and (partially) a mechanism for updating validity of ops after transformation. E.g. during walking/transforming the AST. See original patch [here](https://reviews.llvm.org/D87958). Inspired by a [renewed](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/139721#issuecomment-3217131918) interest in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/139721 (which has become a little stale...) <p align="center"> <img width="504" height="375" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0daad562-d3d1-4876-8d01-5dba382ab186" /> </p> In the previous go-around (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/92631) there were two issues which have been resolved 1. ops that were "fetched" under a root op which has been transformed are no longer reported as invalid. We simply "[formally forbid](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/92631#issuecomment-2119397018)" this; 2. `Module._CAPICreate(module_capsule)` must now be followed by a `module._clear_mlir_module()` to prevent double-freeing of the actual `ModuleOp` object (i.e. calling the dtor on the `OwningOpRef<ModuleOp>`): ```python module = ... module_dup = Module._CAPICreate(module._CAPIPtr) module._clear_mlir_module() ``` - **the alternative choice** here is to remove the `Module._CAPICreate` API altogether and replace it with something like `Module._move(module)` which will do both `Module._CAPICreate` and `module._clear_mlir_module`. Note, the other approach I explored last year was a [weakref system](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/97340) for `mlir::Operation` which would effectively hoist this `liveOperations` thing into MLIR core. Possibly doable but I now believe it's a bad idea. The other potentially breaking change is `is`, which checks object equality rather than value equality, will now report `False` because we are always allocating `new` Python objects (ie that's the whole point of this change). Users wanting to check equality for `Operation` and `Module` should use `==`.
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.
