DLDataType comes from dlpack not TVM. Changing it may affect the ABI of any function accepting or returning a value of that type, and will affect the memory layout of a DLTensor (and likely more). As a consequence, code build with older TVM will not be compatible with that built with a newer TVM, plus it will have an impact on any other project using dlpack. Changing it is not impossible, but we should be careful about it. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/apache/tvm-rfcs/pull/104#issuecomment-1755730601 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
