This adds overrides in VariableType for the xxx_out ATen functions and
implements Python bindings. There is no support for automatic
differentiation. If any of the inputs (or outputs) requires grad, then the
function will throw an exception unless it's running in "no-grad" mode.
The bindings for calling torch.xxx functions on Variables are moved to a
different object. Previously, they were static method on VariableBase.
This change prevents users from accidentally calling static methods as if
they were instance methods.
For example, this splits threshold into threshold(), which is now
never in-place, and threshold_() which is always in-place.
This simplifies the in-place vs. non-in-place logic in
gen_variable_type.py, which was bug-prone.
The general strategy is there is a new module, torch.onnx.symbolic, which
contains a function for every ATen method name with the ONNX translation.
While implementing this, I took the opportunity to expunge all references
of 'g' from the public API; instead, it is managed by a global variable in
torch.onnx which tracks the "current graph".
Other changes:
- If you pass a Tensor to op as an argument, it will now automatically be
converted into a Constant ONNX node. This lets us remove needing to
implement ONNX
- Rename value to other, wherever there is both a Scalar and Tensor overload.
This way, keyword dispatch can work uniformly in both cases.
- Deleted any autograd Function classes that both had a symbolic and were ported
to the new C++ autograd implementation. There may still be some straggling
classes that didn't have symbolic.
