[mlir] support isa/cast/dyn_cast<Operation *>(operation)
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

This enables one to write generic code that can be instantiated for both
specific operation classes and the common base class without
specialization. Examples include functions that take/return ops, such
as:

mlir
template <typename FnTy>
void applyIf(FnTy &&lambda, ...) {
  for (Operation *op : ...) {
    auto specific = dyn_cast<function_traits<FnTy>::template arg_t<0>>(op);
    if (specific)
      lambda(specific);
  }
}

that would otherwise need to rely on template specialization to support
lambdas that take specific operations and those that take Operation *.

It's really really sad that we would need to add casting to the same type. I suppose this is better than using SFINAE.

This is indeed sad, but seemed like least worst solution compared to enable_if.
