This PR introduces a decorator
tvm.ir.base.deprecated
, which emits adeprecation warning if an outdated API is used, but preserves backward
compatibility by still allowing the API to be used.
For example, currently the preferred way of TIR buffer declaration in
function signature is:
With this decorator, if a user writes
T.Buffer[...]
, the parser willstill function properly, but emits a warning that guides the user to
adopt
T.Buffer(...)
if possible.While there is no breaking change at all in this PR, we believe this
is useful to help users upgrade before any breaking change eventually
takes place.
