Mlir-opt with an out-of-tree MLIR dialect

MLIR
#1

We have an out-of-tree MLIR dialect and want to test our dialect with mlir-opt. We don’t want to compile the whole MLIR project (since this makes it hard to distribute the dialect). Is it possible for us to leverage mlir-opt in this case? Thanks!

In general you build your own mlir-opt for testing your dialect / your project.

I follow the practice here: llvm-project/mlir/examples/standalone/standalone-opt at release/14.x · llvm/llvm-project · GitHub

Your out-of-tree project depends on MLIR and not the other way round. So your original question doesn’t read meaningful at all.

Hey! Thanks for the comment. I was wondering if it is possible to link shared libraries to mlir-opt. But now I decide to build my own mlir-opt as Mehdi suggested.
