LLVMTypeConverter: Tighten materialization checks (#116532)
This commit adds extra checks to the MemRef argument materializations in the LLVM type converter. These materializations construct a `MemRefType`/`UnrankedMemRefType` from the unpacked elements of a MemRef descriptor or from a bare pointer. The extra checks ensure that the inputs to the materialization function are correct. It is possible that a user added extra type conversion rules that convert MemRef types in a different way and the extra checks ensure that we construct a MemRef descriptor only if the inputs are what we expect. This commit also drops a check around bare pointer materializations: ``` // This is a bare pointer. We allow bare pointers only for function entry // blocks. ``` This check should not be part of the materialization function. Whether a MemRef block argument is converted into a MemRef descriptor or a bare pointer is decided in the lowering pattern. At the point of time when materialization functions are executed, we already made that decision and we should just materialize regardless of the input format.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
