IR

class IR : public xacc::Persistable

The IR interface is the base interface for derived accelerator-specific intermediate representations. At this level, an intermediate representation can be persisted to an assembly-like string, can be read in from file, and can be persisted to file.

Subclassed by xacc::quantum::DWIR, xacc::quantum::GateIR

Public Functions

virtual std::string toAssemblyString(const std::string &kernelName, const std::string &accBufferVarName) = 0

Return a assembly-like string representation of this intermediate representation

Return

Parameters

  • kernelName: The name of hte kernel to persist to string

  • accBufferVarName: The name of the AcceleratorBuffer

virtual void addKernel(std::shared_ptr<Function> kernel) = 0

Add a new kernel to this IR instance.

Parameters

  • kernel: The Function instance to add as a new kernel

virtual bool kernelExists(const std::string &name) = 0

Return true if the kernel with given name exists in this IR.

Return

exists True if kernel exists.

Parameters

  • name: The name of the kernel to return.

virtual std::shared_ptr<Function> getKernel(const std::string &name) = 0

Return the kernel with the given name.

Return

kernel The kernel with given name.

Parameters

  • name: The name of the kernel to return.

virtual std::vector<std::shared_ptr<Function>> getKernels() = 0

Return all of this IR instance’s kernels.

Return

kernels The kernels this IR contains.
