# xDSL

## Prerequisites

To install the required dependencies, execute the following command:

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Optional dependencies, necessary for formatting the code may be installed via:

```
pip install -r requirements-optionals.txt
```

TODO: check if PYTHONPATH is required or if there exists an easy fix for it.

## Testing

This project includes pytest unit test and llvm-style filecheck tests. They can
be executed using to following commands from within the root directory of the
project:

```bash
# Executes pytests which are located in tests/
pytest

# Executes filecheck tests
lit tests/filecheck
```

## Generating executables through MLIR

xDSL can generate executables using MLIR as the backend. To use this
functionality, make sure to install the [MLIR Python
Bindings](https://mlir.llvm.org/docs/Bindings/Python/). Given an input file
`input.xdsl`, that contains IR with only the mirrored dialects found in
`src/xdsl/dialects` (arith, builtin, cf, func, irdl, llvm, memref, and scf),
run:

```bash
### Prints MLIR generic from to tmp.mlir
./src/tools/xdsl_opt -t mlir  -o tmp.mlir `input.xdsl`

mlir-opt --convert-scf-to-cf --convert-cf-to-llvm --convert-func-to-llvm --convert-arith-to-llvm --convert-memref-to-llvm --reconcile-unrealized-casts tmp.mlir | mlir-translate --mlir-to-llvmir > tmp.ll
```

The generated `tmp.ll` file contains LLVMIR, so it can be directly passed to a
compiler like clang. Notice that a `main` function is required for clang to
build. Refer to `tests/filecheck/arith_ops.test` for an example. The
functionality is tested with MLIR git commit hash:

## Formatting

All python code used in xDSL uses [yapf](https://github.com/google/yapf) to
format the code in a uniform manner.

To automate the formatting within vim, one can use
https://github.com/vim-autoformat/vim-autoformat and trigger a `:Autoformat` on
save.
