MLIR.NET
Published:
MLIR.NET is a strongly typed C# representation of MLIR. It models core MLIR concepts such as operands, attributes, regions, blocks, operations, and types in .NET.
I designed the project to make MLIR manipulation safer and more ergonomic from C# while preserving enough detail for syntax-preserving IR transformations. The infrastructure reconstructs MLIR’s Operation Definition Specification (ODS) and uses TableGen definitions to generate dialect-specific C# types, parsers, and printers.
Selected contributions include:
- A layered representation of MLIR that separates concrete syntax-preserving structures from higher-level typed abstractions.
- Strongly typed operation, operand, attribute, region, and type models for generated dialect APIs.
- TableGen/ODS-driven code generation for dialect-specific C# APIs.
- Parser and printer infrastructure for round-tripping MLIR syntax.
