+// Stable ABI Version Targeting
+//
+// This header provides version targeting capabilities for the PyTorch Stable
+// ABI. Users can define TORCH_TARGET_VERSION to target a specific stable ABI
+// version instead of using the current TORCH_ABI_VERSION of libtorch at
+// compile time.
+//
+// Usage:
+//   Default behavior (uses current ABI version):
+//     #include <torch/csrc/stable/library.h>
+//
+//   Target a specific stable version (major.minor) (e.g. PyTorch 2.9):
+//   (1) Pass a compiler flag -DTORCH_TARGET_VERSION=0x0209000000000000
+//   (2) Alternatively, define TORCH_TARGET_VERSION in the source code before
+//   including any header files:
+//     #define TORCH_TARGET_VERSION (((0ULL + 2) << 56) | ((0ULL + 9) << 48))
+//     #include <torch/csrc/stable/library.h>
+
+#ifdef TORCH_TARGET_VERSION
+#define TORCH_FEATURE_VERSION TORCH_TARGET_VERSION
+#else
+#define TORCH_FEATURE_VERSION TORCH_ABI_VERSION
+#endif
+
+#define TORCH_VERSION_2_10_0 (((0ULL + 2) << 56) | ((0ULL + 10) << 48))
