we want to wrap CStructs in RustStructs to own them, and free memeory
when they are no longer used. Users won't have to deal with the direct
binded CAPI, but the new wrappers
C struct now contains an additonal char* pointer, which can be either
NULL in case there is no error, or a buffer containing the error
message. It's the responsability of destructor function to free that
memory.
CAPI covering a wider API of the Support library.
Better error handling. Could also be improved by returning an error
message back from C to rust (left TODO).
updated also the API to make it easier to use by:
- creating MLIR components from native rust types instead of require
MLIR components in the API
- adding helpers around the creation of standard dialects
Instead of overriding the process stderr to get
the string representation from mlir we can can
directly capture in into a string using mlir's
printOperation.
Another problem with overriding stderr is that
each `#[test]` runs as a different thread meaning that
as soon as we have 2+ tests the tests could panic
due to conflicts/races between the different overrides.
This also moves the expected string directly into the test
as a literal.
The rust bindings are intented to access both LLVM/MLIR CAPI as well as
the concrete-compiler one. This initial commit provide the API for
LLVM/MLIR only. Tests should be used as an example to how to generate a
valid DAG of operations in MLIR.
