Description

Legalize structural control flow against the payload specification stored in mqt.target_env.

This pull request:

  • keeps branch and loop forms that the selected payload supports;
  • lowers unsupported multiway branches to forward branches when possible;
  • fully unrolls bounded static loops when the payload lacks the corresponding loop feature;
  • uses widened arithmetic so overflowing constant ranges cannot appear empty;
  • rejects unsupported residual control flow; and
  • preserves valid one-use quantum values while rejecting unsupported generic SCF transport of linear state.

The pass assumes valid linear IR; its SCF checks concern runtime transport and repeated loop execution, not recovery from malformed multi-user SSA.

Closes #2131.

Dependencies

This PR is stacked directly on #2227. The preceding stack is #2218, #2215, #2219, and #2226.

Validation

  • complete compiler unit suite: 153/153 passed;
  • signed commit verification and range-diff checks: passed; and
  • fresh release configuration and compiler build: passed.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable compiler-target support for conditionals, loops, conditional loops, and multiway branches.
    • Added capability inspection through target properties and support checks.
    • Added constant switch simplification during compilation.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Compilation now rejects unsupported or unsafe control-flow constructs before lowering.
    • Static, unreachable branches are handled correctly.
    • Targets without declared capabilities now fail safely by default.
  • Documentation

    • Added upgrade guidance, compilation documentation, and changelog entries for classical-control support.

Walkthrough

Compiler targets now declare explicit classical-control capabilities through C++ and Python APIs. Target compilation performs fail-closed preflight validation before mutation. Constant qco.index_switch operations canonicalize to selected regions. Tests and documentation cover the new behavior.

Changes

Classical-control compilation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capability API and storage
mlir/include/mlir/Compiler/Target.h, mlir/lib/Compiler/Target.cpp, bindings/mlir/register_mlir.cpp, bindings/patterns.txt, python/mqt/core/mlir.pyi, mlir/unittests/Compiler/test_compiler_target.cpp, test/python/test_mlir.py
CompilerTarget supports four classical-control capabilities. Constructors accept optional capabilities. Storage validates, sorts, and deduplicates them. C++ and Python accessors expose the canonical values.
Target-compilation preflight
mlir/lib/Compiler/TargetCompilation.cpp, mlir/unittests/Compiler/test_compiler_pipeline.cpp
A preflight pass checks required capabilities before cleanup and lowering. It rejects unsupported control flow, dynamic qubit indices, captured quantum state, and unsupported quantum tensors while following reachable static regions.
Constant index-switch canonicalization
mlir/include/mlir/Dialect/QCO/IR/QCOOps.td, mlir/lib/Dialect/QCO/IR/SCF/IndexSwitchOp.cpp, mlir/unittests/Dialect/QCO/IR/test_qco_ir.cpp
Constant qco.index_switch selectors choose a case or default region. The selected results replace the switch, and the switch is removed.
Documentation and implementation record
docs/mlir/target_compilation.md, UPGRADING.md, CHANGELOG.md, .agent/plans/classical-control-capabilities.md
Documentation describes capability declarations, fail-closed defaults, validation rules, and migration examples. The changelog and implementation plan record the change and validation details.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7201a

The PR adds target classical-control capability checks, but the current head still fails a required lint check and can report a misleading category for dynamic qubit-index diagnostics. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

This one feels like it will still require a bit of work for simplification and making some assumptions more explicit.
The general direction looks very good though.

Comment on lines +64 to +72
The supported constraints are `max-control-flow-nesting-depth` on all four
capabilities, `max-iteration-count` on both iteration capabilities, and
`max-case-count` on multiway branching. Limits are inclusive. The compiler must
prove a constrained loop's trip count. It currently proves constant `scf.for`
bounds and rejects a constrained `scf.while` because no general termination
bound is available. The compiler rejects a constant range when MLIR's native
trip-count result disagrees with widened arithmetic. A zero, unknown, or
misapplied constraint makes that capability group unusable. Missing or
incomplete optional metadata never implies support.

It feels like some of these descriptions could/should be upstreamed and included in the QDMI PR that introduces the program capabilities.
Some of these statements feel quite normative and helpful for making sure people export capabilities in a standardized fashion.

The naming of this is a bit odd. Can we make this a little more natural? same holds for the other pass. Maybe the passes could even be combined. I like the "legalize-control-flow" part of this. Maybe a combination of both makes sense.

I just want to add to that there is also the QuantumLoopUnroll pass defined right above that. I think these two could potentially be one.

I might be largely mistaken, but none of the frontends we currently support will produce control flow dialect operations. Is this handling really necessary or could we simplify around that?

I'd critically question whether the programs being described here could actually reasonably be constructed by one of the frontends we currently consider.
If not, I'd rather make the assumptions a little more explicit and simplify around these new stricter assumptions.

This feels like a case where a more explicit assumption on the input could really help to reduce complexity. This feels like a corner case that is merely hypothetical for practical programs.

We really need to institutionalize this in AGENTS.md. Maybe we should even feed it https://mlir.llvm.org/getting_started/DeveloperGuide/ and its subpages once and distill the essence out of those guidelines. I can try that in a separate PR.

I am trying to tackle this one systematically first; before kicking off a large scale review and update of this PR stack. Ideally, the entire review process already benefits from the updated guidelines then. I might tag you, @denialhaag and @simon1hofmann, in a review for the updated guidelines once I am done with iterating them out.

This feels like one of the cases that could be excluded by construction. If we believe a linearity check is necessary regardless, maybe we can run the verifyLinearity function added in #2220 once at the beginning. That should pretty much guarantee that this check (and similar ones) cannot ever fail.

Before you start working on these, let's wait a bit. I planned to kick off a large-scale run on all the PR feedback in the stack, which should hopefully produce coherent edits across the board. I am almost done with the entire PR stack with feedback, so I should be able to kick that off later today.

Use stock MLIR normalization, bounded static loop unrolling, and dialect conversion to match residual structured control flow to the selected payload specification.
