[flang][driver] Add support for -mmlir

[awarzynski]

Summary

The semantic of -mmlir are identical to -mllvm. The only notable difference is that -mmlir options should be forwarded to MLIR rather than LLVM.

[rovka]

I don't know the command line library that well, so I have this curiosity: what happens if LLVM and MLIR have 2 different options with the same name? Do we get a compile time error? Or is there a risk that someone might -mllvm -XYZ and it would end up in MLIR's XYZ option instead, because we're processing the MLIR options after the LLVM ones?

Nit: Should these come after the llvm/ headers? (So it's alphabetical except for flang, which may go first)

flang/test/Driver/mllvm_vs_mmlir.f90

17

Is this the most llvm-ish option we have? I'm concerned that MLIR might also decide to add an option that sounds like this (and for sure -print-ir-before-all is mentioned in the MLIR docs).

Right, I think that might be why the premerge tests are failing...

The llvm::cl API uses global variables. So, if a variable is defined twice, you will get a compilation error. I will advertise this before merging so that folks from LLVM and MLIR are aware of this change. I'm hoping that they won't mind having to use distinct variable names for CL options in MLIR and LLVM.

Or is there a risk that someone might -mllvm -XYZ and it would end up in MLIR's XYZ option instead, because we're processing the MLIR options after the LLVM ones?

Note that -mllvm options are saved in llvmArgs and -mmlir options are saved in mlirArgs (this is taken care of in "CompilerInvocation.cpp"). This should guarantee that the right option set is used.

Sadly, most LLVM options have rather generic names that could at some point be added in MLIR. Perhaps you'll spot something more suitable:

Right, I think that might be why the premerge tests are failing...

Doh, I updated the test before sending this, but forgot to re-run it :( Should be fixed now.

[awarzynski]

Make sure the MLIR CL options are "applied"

I'd be alright with a patch to MLIR that prefixed the pass manager options with mlir-. The rest of our options (that are provided by libraries) should already be prefixed with that AFAIK.

[awarzynski]

flang/test/Driver/mllvm_vs_mmlir.f90

Sounds like a plan, thanks for the suggestion!

[mehdi_amini]

-mmlir is fine with me, but note that MLIR has much less global options than LLVM: you will only get access to context and passmanager options and not individual passes flags. That's not a criticism :)
(that's what makes it not likely to have conflicts by the way: the set of MLIR option is well identified)

Thanks for taking a look! All this should be fine - the main rationale for this patch is to enable MLIR options in flang-new so that tests using tco or bbc (and which use MLIR options) can be ported to use flang-new. We were discussing this recently in https://reviews.llvm.org/D121171.

I've just merged it, so can re-base this patch instead.

[awarzynski]

I did a bit of digging and realised that MLIR llvm::cl options are lazily constructed on demand (see the definition of options in PassManagerOptions.cpp). This means that:

• Flang and LLVM global options are always visible and displayed when passing -mllvm -help,
• MLIR global options are only visible when explicitly initialised and displayed when passing -mmlir -help.

Since Flang and LLVM global options are always visible, llvm::cl will display them alongside MLIR options when using -mmlir -help. In other words, -mmlir -help is a superset of --mllvm -help. This is not ideal, but we'd need to refactor all option definitions in Flang and LLVM to improve this. I suggesting leaving this for later.

[awarzynski]

Rebase on top of main, re-fine the test

Make sure that the test file correctly takes into account that -mmlir -help is a superset of -mllvm -help.

LGTM, thanks!
