This changes type(tensor) to return `torch.Tensor` instead of
`torch.autograd.Variable`.
This requires a few implementation changes:
- torch.Tensor is now a regular Python class instead of a
pseudo-factory like torch.FloatTensor/torch.DoubleTensor
- torch.autograd.Variable is just a shell with a __new__ function.
Since no instanes are constructed it doesn't have any methods.
- Adds torch.get_default_dtype() since torch.Tensor.dtype returns
<attribute 'dtype' of 'torch._C._TensorBase' objects>
This removes volatile from Variable. The functionality is mostly
replaced by a global (thread-local) flag, which is controlled by
torch.set_grad_enabled() and the context manager torch.no_grad().
In C++, the flag is exposed through GradMode::is_enabled() and GradMode::set_enabled()
Fixes#3627
The core autograd Variable, Function, and Engine no longer depend on the
Python API. This let's us implement functions in C++. In the future, we
can also multithread engine and release the GIL for most of the
non-Python backwards.
Uses the assignment syntax to get deterministic ordering of parameters.
The ordering of parameters using the constructor syntax is
non-deterministic because kwargs use dict() in Python 3.5 and earlier.
