It's used to check whether an inplace operation will result in an incorrect gradient calculation. Version is incremented when the data of the Variable is modified in place. - Question: In what scenarios will version counters be shared? - Answer: When two Variables/VarBases share the same C++ Tensor(its Allocation may change), both of them share the same version counter. For examples: 1. `z = paddle.assign(input=x, output=y)`, `z` shares the same version counter of `y` because z and y is the same VarBase; 2. `y = x.detach()`, `y` shares the same version counter of `x`. - Question: In what scenarios will version counters NOT be shared? - Answer: Replacing a `Variable`'s data by calling `Tensor::ShareDataWith(...)` or `Tensor::ShareBufferWith(...)`. Because they share the same Allocation but not framework::Tensor. - Question: Why put the inplace_version_counter_ in framework::Tensor instead of Allocation or Variable? - Answer: 1. Tensor can call ResetHolder() to reset the corresponding Allocation so that the inplace_version_counter_ changes if it's in Allocation, which will lead to confusing information about inplace version. 2. If inplace_version_counter_ is in Variable, different VariableWrappers should be able to share the same Variable. However, a VariableWrapper hold a Variable object but not a pointer. */ class Tensor : public pten::DenseTensor { public: using DenseTensor = pten::DenseTensor; using DenseTensor::DenseTensor; /*!
