how to format/lint *.td/*.mlir files

[gglin001]

Hi, not sure if it's the right place, but I'm wondering how to format *.td and *.mlir files, is there a tool like clang-format to do this? Sorry, I didn't find anything helpful after searching

You can run tablegen files through clang-format, but I'm not sure how well-maintained its tablegen formatter is.

If this is the expected way to format tablegen files, then it would be nice to expose that in the extension.

There is some discussion here on formatting tablegen files: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/formating-mlir-tablegen-code/60767
Region-based formatting within editors (driven by clang-format) in certain situations should work.
