1 # Minimal MLIR binaries
3 This folder contains example of minimal MLIR setups that can showcase the
4 intended binary footprint of the framework.
6 - mlir-cat: This includes the Core IR, the builtin dialect, the textual
7 parser/printer, the support for bytecode serialization.
8 - mlir-minimal-opt: This adds all the tooling for an mlir-opt tool: the pass
9 infrastructure and all the instrumentation associated with it.
10 - mlir-miminal-opt-canonicalize: This add the canonicalizer pass, which pulls in
11 all the pattern/rewrite machinery, including the PDL compiler and intepreter.
13 Below are some example measurements taken at the time of the LLVM 17 release,
14 using clang-14 on a X86 Ubuntu and [bloaty](https://github.com/google/bloaty).

38 Note: to measure the on-disk size, you need to run `strip bin/mlir-cat` first to
39 remove all the debug info (which are useful for `bloaty` though).
41 The optimization level can be tuned with `-Os` or `-Oz`:
43 - `-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO="-Os -g -DNDEBUG" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO="-Os -g -DNDEBUG"`
44 - `-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO="-Oz -g -DNDEBUG" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO="-Oz -g -DNDEBUG"`
46 Finally LTO can also be enabled with `-DLLVM_ENABLE_LTO=FULL`.
48 Bloaty can provide measurements using:
49 `bloaty bin/mlir-cat -d compileunits --domain=vm` or
50 `bloaty bin/mlir-cat -d symbols --demangle=full --domain=vm`
