[mlir:PDL] Expand how native constraint/rewrite functions can be defined
ClosedPublic

Summary

This commit refactors the expected form of native constraint and rewrite
functions, and greatly reduces the necessary user complexity required when
defining a native function. Namely, this commit adds in automatic processing
of the necessary PDLValue glue code, and allows for users to define
constraint/rewrite functions using the C++ types that they actually want to
use.

As an example, lets see a simple example rewrite defined today:

static void rewriteFn(PatternRewriter &rewriter, PDLResultList &results,
                      ArrayRef<PDLValue> args) {
  ValueRange operandValues = args[0].cast<ValueRange>();
  TypeRange typeValues = args[1].cast<TypeRange>();
  ...
  // Create an operation at some point and pass it back to PDL.
  Operation *op = rewriter.create<SomeOp>(...);
  results.push_back(op);
}

After this commit, that same rewrite could be defined as:

static Operation *rewriteFn(PatternRewriter &rewriter ValueRange operandValues,
                            TypeRange typeValues) {
  ...
  // Create an operation at some point and pass it back to PDL.
  return rewriter.create<SomeOp>(...);
}

Very cool!
The template-fu is strong with this one ..

mlir/include/mlir/IR/PatternMatch.h

FMI, why was all this code moved?
Is it just for lexicographic order or something else (e.g. avoid forward declarations) ?

887

nit: grammo

910

Could be useful to list them in the doc specifically: e.g. Attribute, Operation*, Type, Value, TypeRange, ValueRange

931

I am not clear what these types are, could you add 1-2 examples in the doc?

1091

Hmm .. can you comment on this?

Some template magic indeed, but the results are much more user friendly, thanks!

Micro nit: extra space :)

Doesn't some of these also go away with C++17? (I could be confused)

916

Flip order?

if (pdlValue) return success();
return ... ?

979

Is this only a preference or a requirement given what is stored?

1128

I don't quite follow the 0's here (I may just not be following the logic at all, could you add short explanation?)

It allows for the templates to invoke some methods on the rewriter for convenience.

821

Not that I know of, we always need the false to be dependent on the template type, otherwise it asserts in contexts we don't want it to.

979

It's not an inherent "hard" requirement, but it would involve copying the string (which is a waste). Reworded the message a bit.

1091

It's essentially just #ifndef NDEBUG

1128

It's a fold expression. In C++14 you can only do it in certain situations, e.g. initializer_lists. The zeros are just to satisfy having an int expression for the initializer_list.
