[Mlir-commits] [mlir] [mlir][tosa] Enable constant operand check by default (PR #150598)

[Luke Hutton]

https://github.com/lhutton1 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/150598

Previous behaviour was to only run the check for constant operands when the "strict-op-spec-alignment" check was enabled. However, this type of check seems more generally useful without this option enabled. For example, tosa-to-linalg doesn't enable the "strict-op-spec-alignment" option when running the tosa-validate pass, but it does expect operands to be constant.

By enabling this type of checking by default, lowering that don't support non constant operands and don't use the "strict-op-spec-alignment" option will fail early, rather than later in the lowering pipeline.

Should a use-case need to disable this type of checking, `--tosa-validate="extension=dynamic"` can be used.

Subject: [PATCH] [mlir][tosa] Enable constant operand check by default

Previous behaviour was to only run the check for constant operands
when the "strict-op-spec-alignment" check was enabled. However, this
type of check seems more generally useful without this option enabled.
For example, tosa-to-linalg doesn't enable the "strict-op-spec-alignment"
option when running the tosa-validate pass, but it does expect operands
to be constant.

By enabling this type of checking by default, lowering that don't support
non constant operands and don't use the "strict-op-spec-alignment"
opetion will fail early, rather than later in the lowering pipeline.

Should a use-case need to disable this type of checking,
`--tosa-validate="extension=dynamic"` can be used.
