Build minimal MLIR toolchain from LLVM in CI to enable full test coverage.
Implementation:
- Build LLVM 19.1.7 with MLIR project
- Configure minimal build (Native target only, Release mode)
- Enable Python bindings (MLIRPythonModules)
- Build only essential tools: mlir-opt, mlir-translate
- Cache toolchain at /opt/mlir-toolchain
- 150 minute timeout for builds
Cache strategy:
- Key: ${{ runner.os }}-mlir-llvm-19.1.7-python-3.11
- First run: ~90-120 minutes (build + test)
- Cached runs: ~5 minutes (test only)
Testing:
- Set MLIR_INSTALLATIONS=/opt/mlir-toolchain
- Auto-configures PYTHONPATH and library paths
- All 78 tests will run in CI (100%)
This enables full MLIR functionality testing in CI without pre-installed toolchain.
