+  let description = [{
+    All loops that conform to OpenMP's definition of a canonical loop can be
+    simplified to a CanonicalLoopOp. In particular, there are no loop-carried
+    variables and the number of iterations it will execute is know before the
+    operation. This allows e.g. to determine the number of threads and chunks
+    the iterations space is split into before executing any iteration. More
+    restrictions may apply in cases such as (collapsed) loop nests, doacross
+    loops, etc.
+
+    The induction variable is always of the same type as the tripcount argument.
+    Since it can never be negative, tripcount is always interpreted as an
+    unsigned integer. It is the caller's responsbility to ensure the tripcount
+    is not negative when its interpretation is signed, i.e.
+    `%tripcount = max(0,%tripcount)`.
+
+    In contrast to other loop operations such as `scf.for`, the number of
+    iterations is determined by only a single variable, the trip-count. The
+    induction variable value is the logical iteration number of that iteration,
+    which OpenMP defines to be between 0 and the trip-count (exclusive).
+    Loop representation having lower-bound, upper-bound, and step-size operands,
+    require passes to do more work than necessary, including handling special
+    cases such as upper-bound smaller than lower-bound, upper-bound equal to
+    the integer type's maximal value, negative step size, etc. This complexity
+    is better only handled once by the front-end and can apply its semantics
+    for such cases while still being able to represent any kind of loop, which
+    kind of the point of a mid-end intermediate representation. User-defined
+    types such as random-access iterators in C++ could not directly be
+    represented anyway.
+
+    An optional argument to a omp.canonical_loop that can be passed in
+    is a CanonicalLoopInfo value that can be used to refer to the canonical
+    loop to apply transformations -- such as tiling, unrolling, or
+    work-sharing -- to the loop, similar to the transform dialect but
+    with OpenMP-specific semantics.
+
+    A CanonicalLoopOp can be lowered to LLVM-IR using OpenMPIRBuilder's
+    createCanonicalLoop method.
+
+    #### Examples
+
+    Translation from lower-bound, upper-bount, step-size to trip-count.
+    ```c
+    for (int i = 3; i < 42; i+=2) {
+      B[i] = A[i];
+    }
+    ```
+
+    ```mlir
+    %lb = arith.constant 3 : i32
+    %ub = arith.constant 42 : i32
+    %step = arith.constant 2 : i32
+    %range = arith.sub %ub, %lb : i32
+    %tc = arith.div %range, %step : i32
+    omp.canonical_loop %iv : i32 in [0, %tc) {
+      %offset = arith.mul %iv, %step : i32
+      %i = arith.add %offset, %lb : i32
+      %a = load %arrA[%i] : memref<?xf32>
+      store %a, %arrB[%i] : memref<?xf32>
+    }
+    ```
+
+    Nested canonical loop with transformation.
+    ```mlir
+    %outer = omp.new_cli : !omp.cli
+    %inner = omp.new_cli : !omp.cli
+    omp.canonical_loop %iv1 : i32 in [0, %tripcount), %outer : !omp.cli{
+      omp.canonical_loop %iv2 : i32 in [0, %tc), %inner : !omp.cli {
+        %a = load %arrA[%iv1, %iv2] : memref<?x?xf32>
+        store %a, %arrB[%iv1, %iv2] : memref<?x?xf32>
+      }
+    }
+    omp.tile(%outer, %inner : !omp.cli, !omp.cli)
+    ```
+
+    Nested canonical loop with other constructs. The `omp.distribute`
+    operation has not been added yet, so this is suggested use with other
+    constructs.
+    ```mlir
+    omp.target {
+      omp.teams {
+        omp.distribute {
+          %outer = omp.new_cli : !omp.cli
+          %inner = omp.new_cli : !omp.cli
+          omp.canonical_loop %iv1 : i32 in [0, %tripcount), %outer : !omp.cli {
+            omp.canonical_loop %iv2 : i32 in [0, %tc), %inner : !omp.cli {
+              %a = load %arrA[%iv1, %iv2] : memref<?x?xf32>
+              store %a, %arrB[%iv1, %iv2] : memref<?x?xf32>
+            }
+          }
+          omp.collapse(%outer, %inner)
+        }
+      }
+    }
