[NFC] Remove the llvm-external-projects/iree-dialects directory (#24466) (#24612) ## Overview Removes the `llvm-external-projects/iree-dialects` directory now that nothing in the compiler or runtime depends on it. This is the final step of #24466. The production dependencies were retired in #24543 and predecessors: - the softmax matcher was reimplemented natively in `GlobalOptimization/RaiseSpecialOps`, - `ErrorCheckingTrackingListener` was moved into `Codegen/Common/`, - `DropSchedulePass` was moved into `Codegen/Common/`, - the callback-matcher transform ops (`transform.iree.register_match_callbacks` / `match_callback` / `take_first` / `emit_remark`) and their tests were dropped. ## Changes - Delete `llvm-external-projects/iree-dialects/`. - Drop the `iree_llvm_add_external_project(mlir-iree-dialects ...)` call from the top-level `CMakeLists.txt`. - Remove the dead iree-dialects target conversion from `bazel_to_cmake`. - Drop the `IREEDialects*` Python sources + include path from `compiler/bindings/python/CMakeLists.txt`, the `_ireeDialects` `CMakeExtension` from `compiler/setup.py`, and the `iree_dialects.rst` API doc. - Remove the `iree-dialects-doc` build step from the website doc generator. - Remove the "Test iree-dialects" CI steps and the `check-iree-dialects` targets from the ASan/UBSan scripts (and the now-unused `test_iree_dialects.sh`). ## Testing - **Local (Windows + MSVC, Ninja, Release):** CMake configure is clean after the external-project removal only `stablehlo` remains as an external LLVM project and a full-tree grep finds zero dangling references. The full `iree-opt` target builds, links, and runs (`iree-opt --version` → LLVM 23.0.0git). --------- Signed-off-by: Alex-Wengg <hanweng9@gmail.com>
IREE (Intermediate Representation Execution Environment, pronounced as “eerie”) is an MLIR-based end-to-end compiler and runtime that lowers Machine Learning (ML) models to a unified IR that scales up to meet the needs of the datacenter and down to satisfy the constraints and special considerations of mobile and edge deployments.
