Fixes #2913.

python -m tilelang.tools.compile_only lowers a kernel to source without running it. Default --target c. --target cuda is optional and soft-fails on Metal-style wheels.

auto is rejected as a string or as JSON. Bare {"kind":"cuda"} is pinned to sm_80. --output_file is removed before compile so a failed CE rerun can't keep the previous dump.

python -I -m pytest testing/python/tools/test_tilelang_tools_compile_only.py -q

CE: compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer#9029
infra: compiler-explorer/infra#2307

TileLang has no first-class compile-only path for CPU-only CI.
This adds the official entry so later CE work can emit inspectable
kernel source without a GPU.

`--target cuda` should emit real CUDA C when the wheel has codegen FFI,
and soft-fail clearly on Metal-style wheels instead of an AttributeError.

P2 Badge Preserve module order when selecting the kernel

When an input module declares a direct PrimFunc before an @tilelang.jit kernel, the first loop skips that PrimFunc and the second loop is never reached because the later JITImpl is returned first. The CLI therefore silently emits source for the wrong kernel despite promising to select the first supported kernel in module order; inspect each object once and dispatch based on its type.

P2 Badge Recognize CUDA target strings containing options

When a caller uses a normal TVM target string with options, such as --target 'cuda -arch=sm_90', on a wheel without CUDA FFI, resolve_target preserves the string but this exact-equality check classifies it as non-CUDA. Lowering then enters the CUDA pipeline and leaks the underlying missing-FFI error instead of the advertised clear soft failure; determine the target kind after parsing the string rather than matching only bare cuda.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

discover_prim_func skipped an earlier PrimFunc when a later @jit existed,
and option-bearing CUDA strings skipped the FFI soft-fail.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds tilelang.tools.compile_only, a programmatic API, and a CLI for lowering TileLang kernels to inspectable CPU or CUDA source. It validates targets, loads example modules, discovers kernels, writes output files, and reports compilation errors. Tests cover CPU, CUDA, target parsing, and failure paths.

Changes

Compile-only source generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Target resolution and CUDA capability
tilelang/tools/compile_only.py, testing/python/tools/test_tilelang_tools_compile_only.py
Defines the default CPU target, parses target options, pins bare CUDA targets to sm_80, validates JSON targets, rejects auto, and checks CUDA codegen FFI availability. Tests cover target recognition and parsing.
Kernel loading and source output
tilelang/tools/compile_only.py
Loads example modules, discovers the first JIT implementation or PrimFunc, lowers kernels without device compilation, and writes generated source through the CLI.
Behavioral test coverage
testing/python/tools/test_tilelang_tools_compile_only.py
Tests CPU compilation, CLI output and errors, kernel discovery, CUDA FFI failures, optional CUDA generation, and standalone execution.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6daa2

The PR adds an official compile-only CLI with C as the default target and optional CUDA handling; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Verify the sandbox boundary for Compiler Explorer use.

exec_module executes arbitrary top-level code from input_file. This is intended Python execution, not shell-command injection. -I does not restrict file access, network access, or child processes.

If Compiler Explorer accepts browser-provided examples, run this CLI only in a disposable sandbox with no host credentials and enforced resource limits. Verify that this isolation is enforced outside this module.

CE reuses the same output path; a failed run must not leave yesterday's
assembly. Unlink before compile, matching the CuTe wrapper.

CodeRabbit: '{"kind":"auto"}' bypassed the auto ban, and
'{"kind":"cuda"}' skipped the sm_80 pin. Apply the same rules as
string targets.
