Summary:
This is something which I wrote because it was useful during my debugging sessions, but I think it might be generally useful to other people as well so I took the liberty of proposing an official `pytorch-gdb` extension.
`pytorch-gdb` is a gdb script written in python. Currently, it contains only one command: `torch-tensor-repr`, which prints a human-readable repr of an `at::Tensor` object. Example:
```
Breakpoint 1, at::native::neg (self=...) at [...]/pytorch/aten/src/ATen/native/UnaryOps.cpp:520
520 Tensor neg(const Tensor& self) { return unary_op_impl(self, at::neg_out); }
(gdb) # the default repr of 'self' is not very useful
(gdb) p self
$1 = (const at::Tensor &) 0x7ffff72ed780: {impl_ = {target_ = 0x5555559df6e0}}
(gdb) torch-tensor-repr self
Python-level repr of self:
tensor([1., 2., 3., 4.], dtype=torch.float64)
```
The idea is that by having an official place where to put these things, `pytorch-gdb` will slowly grow other useful features and make the pytorch debugging experience nicer and faster.

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.
