[MLIR] [CMake] Support building MLIR standalone
ClosedPublic

Authored by mgorny on Aug 6 2020, 12:04 PM.

Details

Summary

Add the necessary bits to CMakeLists to make it possible to configure
MLIR against installed LLVM, and build it with minimal need for LLVM
source tree. The latter is only necessary to run unittests, and if it
is missing then unittests are skipped with a warning.

This change includes the necessary changes to tests, in particular
adding some missing substitutions and defining missing variables
for lit.site.cfg.py substitution.

This seems like exactly the kindof boilerplate that 'every' project needs. I'd like to work refactoring this so that projects have more commonality in how they integrate with CMAKE. (I'll point you to a review along these lines)

44–47

This exists check seems awkward. I'd expect that this should actually be a configuration option?

I don't understand why these include directories should be different when MLIR is built out-of-tree.

I don't have a strong opinion on this. However, some code would have to repeated to get the 'common' stuff in anyway ;-).

44–47

I don't know if it's something worth configuring. The rough idea is that you either build with complete LLVM source tree available (and I make here a rough default for monorepo) and then gtest is available, or you don't and then it's not.

Me neither. However, for some reason they're missing there and build is failing to find generated includes. I'm afraid I don't know how to debug this.

Could we have this line at the top still?

44–47

Could TARGET gtest not be used here too?

What errors do you see?

Sure, done that.

There's no TARGET until you add_subdirectory.

It doesn't find generated .inc files (i.e. -I${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} is clearly missing for some reason).

LLVM does: CMakeLists.txt:include_directories( ${LLVM_INCLUDE_DIR} ${LLVM_MAIN_INCLUDE_DIR})
which MLIR inherits in an in-tree build

I think the correct thing to do is to have something similar:
include_directories( ${MLIR_INCLUDE_DIR} )

This should avoid including this in all of the dialects.

Is there any interest in this? If so, I can rebase this on top of master and send it.

My interest here is to package MLIR for a package manager and having standalone builds makes it much easier to separately package MLIR and LLVM.

If you rebase, I can try to help the review if @stephenneuendorffer does not have cycles available.

I still think there should be a better solution than doing this in all dialects.... maybe add it to mlir_tablegen()?

Move adding CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR to tablegen function

Looks good to me. Thanks for doing this!

This logic does not work for me: I suddenly get "gtest not found, unittests will not be available" in my regular build.

Thanks for letting me know. Fix in https://reviews.llvm.org/D95978

Since this change, unit-tests are not built with ninja check-mlir anymore. I tried a fix in http://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/09cfec62432993abde7829a88ce4793d8805ce4b ; please take a look!
