Some updates:
- This is documented in the FAQ as Registered, loaded, dependent: what’s up with Dialects management?, and in a small section of the Pass Management doc.
- Upstream LLVM/MLIR is clean from any dependency on the global registry.
- The registry is disabled by default now, if you are downstream and still in process of migrating, you can re-enable the global registry (but we’d like to remove all this “soon” so please don’t continue to depend on it).
- As part of this work:
OpPassManagerdoes not depend on MLIRContext anymore, which allow to build a pass pipeline ahead of time.
Next step is to delete entirely the registry and all the global registration facilities for dialects in the coming month: please upgrade your project.
