() operator overloading in DispatchStub class

C++
1

build/aten/src/ATen/UfuncCPU_add.cpp
After macro expansion and get

void structured_ufunc_add_CPU::impl(const at::Tensor & self, const at::Tensor & other, const at::Scalar & alpha, const at::Tensor & out) {
      add_stub(device_type(), *this, alpha);
}

I can not understand the value add_stub() here, because of ()operator overloading in DispatchStub class, here add_stub can call following function, why does operator overloading have a return value but add_stub does’t have?

rT operator()(c10::DeviceType device_type, ArgTypes&&... args) {
    FnPtr call_ptr = get_call_ptr(device_type);
    return (*call_ptr)(std::forward<ArgTypes>(args)...);
  }
