[flang-dev] [llvm-dev] Multidimensional array indexing intrinsics

[Michael Kruse via flang-dev]

Hi Prasanth,

sharing your implementation would be awesome! Note that the flang
compiler is currently being reimplemented in a project called f18 [1]
and will use MLIR for code-generation which has an in-built
multi-dimensional types. However, your approach might still be
insightful for lowering MLIR to LLVM-IR (for further optimizations)
and frontends that do not target MLIR.

To alleviate the same, a multidimensional  array indexing intrinsics have been proposed recently in the llvmp-dev mailing list [1]. From the mailing thread, it looks like there is a consensus on using intrinsics for communicating dimensions [2].
