How to add new dialect to buddy-translate?

[LRY89757]

Hi, buddy-mlir! I want to translate the conv2d.mlir to llvm ir file to compare the difference of conv2d implemention between vectorization and non-vectorization(with linalg dialect). But when I try to run the command like this:

 buddy-translate --buddy-to-llvmir after-vec-conv2d.mlir -o after-vec-conv2d.ll 

It showed like:

Because the buddy-translate doesn't support the dialect linalg,affine and vector of mlir.
I've checked the CMakeLists.txt of buddy-translate:

get_property(dialect_libs GLOBAL PROPERTY MLIR_DIALECT_LIBS)
get_property(translation_libs GLOBAL PROPERTY MLIR_TRANSLATION_LIBS)

But I don't know how to add the dialect vector, affine and linalg to dialect_libs.

@xlinsist @zhanghb97 Please take a look. : )

Hi, @LRY89757, buddy-translate is based on mlir-translate. To generate LLVM IR from the .mlir file, you must ensure that every operation in this file is a part of llvm dialect or dialects at the same level. In your conv2d situation, vector.splat is high-level operation and requires more lowering passes(e.g. convert-vector-to-llvm) before using buddy-translate.

Having further questions about the vectorization of conv2d, you may share your after-vec-conv2d.mlir and thorough lowering&translation process. Thanks for your interest!

Thx for your guidance! @xlinsist I need to add additional params like -convert-linalg-to-loops --lower-affine to lowering subsequently this high level dialect. I think I have a more deep understanding of Dialect : )
