Details

Summary

The call_intrinsic op allows us to call LLVM intrinsics from the LLVMDialect without implementing a new op every time.

nice

mlir/include/mlir/Dialect/LLVMIR/LLVMIntrinsicOps.td
710–712

This is the new style for headers (LLVM dialect is very old!)

713

can you name this LLVM_CallIntrinsicOp? It affects the name of the C++ class

713

can you add a summary and description field to document the op?

719–721
728

can you outline this to a C++ file? I think you can add a function to mlir/lib/Target/LLVMIR/Dialect/LLVMIR/LLVMToLLVMIRTranslation.cpp where the generated code gets pasted

Moved some logic from the builder into a function; responding to comments

An intrinsic that doesn't exist shouldn't cause the exporter to assert. Can you have it fail gracefully with an error?

please drop trivial braces

What happens when you try to export an intrinsic that doesn't exist on all systems? I'm worried this test might fail on some systems

Very exciting Lily, thank you for implementing this!

Plz only eval getNumOperands once per iteration and prefer preincrement:

for (size_t i = 0, e = opInst.getNumOperands(); i != e; ++i)

It is a micro thing but helps with consistency.

283

Do you need the llvm:: namespace qualifiers in the .cpp file? I think they can all be dropped

283

Can you pass Table directly into matchIntrinsicSignature? I think they implicitly convert and you can get rid of TableRef

mlir/test/Dialect/LLVMIR/call-intrin.mlir
15

I think it will always work but am not sure, how do we test this? Maybe add a weird target intrinsic that you don't have configured to check?

Fix error messages + comments

I do need the llvm:: namespace qualifiers unfortunately; a lot of other functions in this file use them too. :(

And I'm not sure why, but if I try to pass Table in directly, it doesn't compile with this error--

/home/lily/llvm-project/mlir/lib/Target/LLVMIR/Dialect/LLVMIR/LLVMToLLVMIRTranslation.cpp:283:52: error: non-const lvalue reference to type 'ArrayRef<llvm::Intrinsic::IITDescriptor>' cannot bind to a value of unrelated type 'SmallVector<llvm::Intrinsic::IITDescriptor, 8>'
  if (llvm::Intrinsic::matchIntrinsicSignature(FT, Table,

There are other functions that called matchIntrinsicSignature like this as well

mlir/test/Dialect/LLVMIR/call-intrin.mlir
15

I'm not 100% sure what the behavior is-- if the intrinsic isn't on a particular machine then then it might just return 0 when it tries to get the intrinsic. I can change this to a different test

15

Earlier today I was trying to use some intrinsics that were listed in llvmint, and getting back 0 for the id of those intrinsics. Turns out they were ones that weren't in ""LLVMConvertibleLLVMIRIntrinsics.inc".

I'm not sure if "LLVMConvertibleLLVMIRIntrinsics.inc" is dependent on the target or if it's just a static list that's the same across all backends.

If this does fail, then there will probably be an error in > builder.CreateCall <. I'm not sure how to return early from a builder..

Make error reporting work properly

Nevermind, I got this to work properly.

To provide a similar summary to the normal call op.

717–719
725–726
727–728

How does success translate to error propagating correctly?

728

I would move all of this out of line if possible.

733–735
745

Drop the newline here.

752–754

I would actually advocate for not having this on the op definition, because it requires having LLVM IR linked and available (which I don't think we want really in the LLVM dialect, even if it currently does now).

mlir/lib/Target/LLVMIR/Dialect/LLVMIR/LLVMToLLVMIRTranslation.cpp
261–262

Can you document this method? The contract seems specific, also can you have a more specific operation type for opInst?

286

Do you have tests for these error cases?

Comments + add more tests

mlir/include/mlir/Dialect/LLVMIR/LLVMIntrinsicOps.td
727–728

It actually should be failure(), my error checking was not quite right and it was working for failure() and not success()

752–754

OK, I can inline it

mlir/lib/Target/LLVMIR/Dialect/LLVMIR/LLVMToLLVMIRTranslation.cpp
261–262

It looks like opInst is the exact same thing as op, so I can actually just get rid of opInst.

286

I added a test for intrinsic type is not a match.

For the variadic-ness one, I can't find a variadic intrinsic, so I didn't add a test. It seems like variadic intrinsics are uncommon, though, and I'm not sure how to support them. I updated the error message to say that we don't support calling variadic intrinsics.

OK, I moved it all into another C++ function.

I removed the comment so I think I don't need the {} anymore

As something that better enables scaling to the many intrinsics, this LGTM conceptually.

mlir/include/mlir/Dialect/LLVMIR/LLVMIntrinsicOps.td
714–715

Could you sink these below the summary+description? Those fields should generally always be at the top.

mlir/lib/Target/LLVMIR/Dialect/LLVMIR/LLVMToLLVMIRTranslation.cpp
269–271

Can you do something like:

280

Please use camelCase for variable names. Same below.

284

Do you need this temporary variable? Can you just pass Table inline?

286

You could try llvm.localescape which is variadic IIRC. There are a few others as well.

286–287

The return op.emitOpError still looks unresolved?

Yup, it is necessary unfortunately, it won't convert implicilty

286–287

whoops, misread the suggestion. should be resolved now

add variadic test + remove variadic check since it's unneeded

mlir/lib/Target/LLVMIR/Dialect/LLVMIR/LLVMToLLVMIRTranslation.cpp
286

Thanks! I added a test for localescope, and it seems like things are working fine for variadic localescope, so I'm just going to remove the check. I don't think it's possible to trigger it.
