Hi all,
I am trying to adjust the C++ code in Aten library(pytorch/aten/src/ATen/native), but it is not practical to run CMake every time.
I found this post, but the make option(build_caffe2) does not work anymore.
So is there an easy way to adjust and test the C++ files in Aten?
I usually just use python setup.py develop which will trigger a full rebuild the first time, but will only rebuild the changed (and affected) files afterwards.
Thank you for your reply!
In my case, “python setup.py install” also do the same thing. It only compiled the files I modified after the first build. I am impressed how smart the building script is.
I think adding ccache and ninja can additionally speed up the build (unsure as I have them installed by default so haven’t compared the build without them in a while).
In my case, my script used ninja to do all the jobs without any additional option. I noticed that ninja is a prerequisite in the tutorial. Maybe it is the default building tool if ppl follow the tutorial.
