Can we compile cpp torch into pytorch for debugging purpose?

Hi! I am interested in some function in cpp torch, and I think, if I can debug cpp torch, I can understand it better! So can I change some code in cpp version, and then somehow run the code, maybe by compiling it into python?
Thank you!!!

Please correct me if I’m misunderstanding your use case, but in case you would like to change code in some C++ file in the PyTorch backend you could rebuild it and should see the changes.

yes!!! That is what I want! How to build it? Sorry, I am not familiar with cpp torch install. Oh, maybe install cpp torch must need to build and then install. So I just need to change it, and then just use cpp version and I can see the difference!

Follow these instructions to build PyTorch from source.
