Summary: Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/65345 FooType::get() can return a const reference. Inconveniently, converting shared_ptr<FooType> to shared_ptr<Type> requires a copy & refcount bump, so to properly take advantage of this in unshapedType() we need to take a const Type& in isSubtypeOf(), which is good practice anyway -- don't require a shared_ptr if you don't need to take ownership. ghstack-source-id: 140044165 Test Plan: CI perf says c10::unshapedType time decreased from 2.8% to 2.2% during static runtime startup, though I expect this to be generally beneficial.

Note [TH abstraction violation] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TH/THC provide some hpp headers, which are proper C++ headers rather than C headers. These headers serve double duty as *internal implementation detail* headers, whose contents should largely not be used by external clients. Ideally, we would not install these headers at all; instead, you should use public functions (in headers like `THTensor.h`, NOT `THTensor.hpp`) to manipulate these structs. However, there are a few places in torch/csrc where we violate this abstraction. They are marked with a pointer to this note. Each of those sites will have to be refactored when we refactor the guts of THTensor and related structures.
