+1 this makes sense to me, but I'd love for someone else's eyes to be on the details. Thank you!

I'm against this change. The dialect has always been called "the arithmetic dialect", which everyone just called "arith" for short. There are few other dialects whose name and namespaces don't match; "omp" for example

Is there a reason to have two names for the same thing? Why shouldn't the omp dialect be moved into a directory "omp"?

People can still verbally refer to these things as openmp and arithmetic of course, but keeping the code mechanically consistent seems just better?

Without knowing the full this historical context, the current state of things seems needlessly inconsistent to me. For example, we have Math and Func instead of Mathematical/Function. Another example is that recently, we renamed changed all definitions in the SPIRV dialect from 'spv' to spirv for the sake of consistency. If the refactoring cost is low, I'd rather use the same dialect names and definition/op prefix.

I wasn't aware of the spv change. LGTM to them

I only really hear this referred to as "Arith", so this rename seems good to me.

Could we have a type alias (using ArithmeticDialect = ArithDialect;) to help with the transition?

Maybe you already added it somewhere, I haven't checked all the files.

Based on internal feedback, I want to split this patch into a few more gradual changes:

  1. (This revision) Rename the dialect and paths, but add an alias for the old dialect name
  2. Remove the alias
  3. Rename passes/conversions (landed a few days later so that folks have time to catch up)

Does this work for other folks?

Sure, I can add this if it makes it easier to import this change

An alternative, that is easier for you @kuhar as well as simpler for upstream, is just to land the patch as is, i.e. in a single commit that does the entire conversion.

This patch is large but the changes are quite mechanical, so perhaps splitting it into several patches is overkill. I remember the func -> func.func change was quite wide-ranging and therefore required a lot of work, but in this case we should be able to adapt downstream code relatively easily, even if it all comes in a single patch.

So, as a downstream user, I'd be happy with or without the split.

LG for shape changes/removing blocker

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Sep 28 2022, 10:10 AM

OK, so if I don't get any other requests to split this up, I'll land this as-is in one go tomorrow morning (Pacific Time).

Seems reasonable to me to splits.

I am not sure about the “ a few days later so that folks have time to catch up)” part, that seems oddly specific to “some specific downstream” in terms of process/timeline (what if I integrate weekly? Every other week? …)

That should be fixed by https://reviews.llvm.org/rG6c8d8d10455a3d38a92102ae3a94e1c06d3eb363. I haven't received any builbot errors since submitting this fix, so I think that should do it. I'm not a flang developer, so please let me know if there are any remaining issues.

Thanks for the quick fix. I think everything is fine.
