This replaces the torch.Tensor constructors with factories that produce
Variables. Similarly, functions on the torch module (e.g. torch.randn)
now return Variables.
To keep the PR to a reasonable size, I've left most of the unused tensor
code. Subsequent PRs will remove the dead code, clean-up calls to
torch.autograd.Variable, and rename Variable to Tensor everywhere.
There are some breaking changes because Variable and Tensors had
slightly different semantics. There's a list of those changes here:
https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/wiki/Breaking-Changes-from-Variable-and-Tensor-merge
This better maintains backwards compatibility when Tensors and Variables
are merged. For example:
>>> loss = var.sum().data[0]
Currently, `var.sum().data` is 1-dim so indexing. Once scalars are
enabled and Variable and Tensor are merged it will be zero-dim. This
change allows that expression to continue working (with a warning). In
the future, the canonical way to compute that expression will be:
>>> loss = float(var.sum())
Or an equivalent alternative:
>>> loss = var.sum().item()
Also fixes a few error cases.
1) Have 0-dim byte tensors behave like Py_TRUE, Py_FALSE
1) Py_TRUE now properly returns a copy from getitem
3) setitem now properly shapes the LHS consistent with the RHS (this doesn't really matter outside of error messages having the proper shape)
4) setitem supports numpy-style copy_to broadcasting (cuts off prefix 1s from src), so e.g. you can setitem (1,1,2,3) to (2,3) even though
that doesn't follow the normal inplace broadcasting rules.
Implements basic and advanced indexing using ATen tensors/variables.
Basic indexing is translated at the Python-binding level
(python_variable_indexing.cpp) to slice/squeeze/unsqueeze/select calls.
Advanced indexing is implemented in ATen in terms of take() and put()
calls.
