[MLIR] Forward generated OpTy::create arguments (#170012)
The recent changes in the MLIR TableGen interface for generated
OpTy::build functions involves a new OpTy::create function that is
generated passing arguments without forwarding. This is problematic with
arguments that are move only such as `std::unique_ptr`. My particular
use case involves `std::unique_ptr<mlir::Region>` which is desirable as
the `mlir::OperationState` object accepts calls to
`addRegion(std::unique_ptr<mlir::Region>`.
In Discord, the use of `extraClassDeclarations` was suggested which I
may go with regardless since I still have to define the builder function
anyways, but perhaps you would consider this trivial change as it
supports a broader class of argument types for this approach.
Consider the declaration in TableGen:
```
let builders = [
OpBuilder<(ins "::mlir::Value":$cdr,
"::mlir::ValueRange":$packs,
"std::unique_ptr<::mlir::Region>":$body)>
];
```
Which currently generates:
```cpp
ExpandPacksOp ExpandPacksOp::create(::mlir::OpBuilder &builder, ::mlir::Location location, ::mlir::Value cdr, ::mlir::ValueRange packs, std::unique_ptr<::mlir::Region> body) {
::mlir::OperationState __state__(location, getOperationName());
build(builder, __state__, std::forward<decltype(cdr)>(cdr), std::forward<decltype(packs)>(packs), std::forward<decltype(body)>(body));
auto __res__ = ::llvm::dyn_cast<ExpandPacksOp>(builder.create(__state__));
assert(__res__ && "builder didn't return the right type");
return __res__;
}
```
With this change it will generate:
```cpp
ExpandPacksOp ExpandPacksOp::create(::mlir::OpBuilder &builder, ::mlir::Location location, ::mlir::Value cdr, ::mlir::ValueRange packs, std::unique_ptr<::mlir::Region>&&body) {
::mlir::OperationState __state__(location, getOperationName());
build(builder, __state__, static_cast<decltype(cdr)>(cdr), std::forward<decltype(packs)>(packs), std::forward<decltype(body)>(body));
auto __res__ = ::llvm::dyn_cast<ExpandPacksOp>(builder.create(__state__));
assert(__res__ && "builder didn't return the right type");
return __res__;
}
```
Another option could be to make this function a template but then it
would not be hidden in the generated translation unit. I don't know if
that was the original intent. Thank you for your consideration.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.
