Arg spec

arg_spec

When passing command-line arguments to xdsl-opt, it may be useful to parametrize them. The parametrized argument model object ArgSpec holds the name of the argument, and a mapping from a key to a tuple of parameters, described below.

This is used when building pass pipelines.

ParameterType = str | int | bool | float module-attribute

The only types that can be used as ArgSpec parameters.

ParameterListType = tuple[ParameterType, ...] module-attribute

The ArgSpec holds a dictionary from strings to lists of parameters.

SpecToken: TypeAlias = Token[SpecTokenKind] module-attribute

ArgSpec dataclass

A specification for a command-line argument name and its parameters.

ArgSpecConvertible dataclass

Bases: ABC

A base class for frozen dataclasses with a name: ClassVar[str] that can be instantiated from an ArgSpec and serialized back to one.

Subclasses must be decorated with @dataclass(frozen=True).

Only the following types are supported as argument types:

Base types: int | float | bool | string N-tuples of base types: tuple[int, ...], tuple[int|float, ...], tuple[int, ...] | tuple[float, ...] Top-level optional: ... | None

Arguments are formatted as follows::

Spec arg                            Mapped to class field
-------------------------           ------------------------------
my-thing{arg-1=1}                   arg_1: int             = 1

parse_pipeline(pipeline_spec: str) -> Iterator[ArgSpec]

This takes a pipeline string and gives a representation of the specification.

Each pass is represented by a tuple of
  • name: the name of the pass as string
  • args: a dictionary, where each value is zero or more of (str | bool | float | int)
