Fixes #3009. The TIR parser accepted a non-boolean PrimExpr as an if or assert condition, leaving a later pass to fail with an internal boolean-type assertion. Report a source-level diagnostic with the condition dtype before constructing the TIR statement. The if visitor now reuses its evaluated predicate.\n\nAdd regression coverage for integer if/assert conditions and a boolean control. Integer truthiness remains explicit: callers can write A[i] != 0.\n\nValidation: Ruff check, Ruff format check, Python syntax compilation, and git diff --check passed. The parser tests were not run in this checkout because TileLang runtime libraries and the native toolchain are unavailable.

Summary

  • Reject non-boolean if and assert conditions during parsing, with an error that identifies the condition’s dtype.
  • Reuse the evaluated if predicate when constructing the TIR conditional.
  • Add regression tests for integer if and assert conditions and a boolean if condition.

Tests

  • Ruff checks, Ruff format check, Python syntax compilation, and git diff --check passed, as reported in the PR objectives.
  • Parser tests were not run because TileLang runtime libraries and the native toolchain were unavailable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The parser now checks that symbolic conditions in if and assert statements have boolean dtype. Tests cover integer buffer elements in both statements and a boolean buffer element in an if statement.

Changes

Boolean condition validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parser condition checks and tests
tilelang/language/parser/parser.py, testing/python/language/test_tilelang_language_boolean_conditions.py
visit_if checks the dtype of the evaluated symbolic condition before creating the TIR conditional. visit_assert reports an error for symbolic conditions with non-boolean dtype. Tests check both errors and invoke CUDA lowering with a boolean buffer element as an if condition.

The new diagnostics for non-boolean if and assert conditions are not actually covered by the added tests, which would error before reaching the parser. Fix the tests to use the parser decorator before merging.

Use the parser decorator and catch decoration errors.

T.prim_func resolves to the eager builder. It builds TIR while applying the decorator. The pytest.raises blocks start only after the decorated definitions, so decoration errors are not caught. The changed diagnostics in tilelang/language/parser/parser.py are therefore not exercised.

Import prim_func from tilelang.language.parser, keep T for the TileLang operations, and place each invalid definition inside its pytest.raises block. Use the parser decorator for the boolean-condition test as well.
