Summary
This PR migrates the HintManager architecture to the v3.3.x branch. It decouples backend logic from the core compiler, enabling cleaner support for AIPU and Ascend backends without polluting the main codebase.
Key Changes
Architecture: Introduced HintManager and BaseHintHandler to manage backend-specific logic via a standardized hook mechanism.
Decoupling: Refactored CodeGenerator.py and jit.py by replacing hardcoded if backend == ... checks with generic hint_trigger calls.
AIPU Support: Added AipuHintHandler to handle backend-specific logic (e.g., tl.load hints), separating invocation logic from core infrastructure changes.
Optimization: Implemented lazy loading for handlers to avoid circular imports and standardized source code comment parsing.
