Catherine Lee 2eefbc02a0 [ez] Discover tests without importing torch (#118574)
Moves test discovery into a file that doesn't have import torch so test listing can be done without having torch installed.

Helpful when you don't have torch installed (aka me when I'm feeling lazy)
I want to move TD into it's own job that doesn't need to wait for build to finish, so this is part of that.

The first commit is a nothing more than a copy paste of the selected functions/vars into a new file, the second commit has various changes that should be checked.

This folder contains a number of scripts which are used as part of the PyTorch build process. This directory also doubles as a Python module hierarchy (thus the __init__.py).

Overview

Modern infrastructure:

  • autograd - Code generation for autograd. This includes definitions of all our derivatives.
  • jit - Code generation for JIT
  • shared - Generic infrastructure that scripts in tools may find useful.
    • module_loader.py - Makes it easier to import arbitrary Python files in a script, without having to add them to the PYTHONPATH first.

Build system pieces:

  • setup_helpers - Helper code for searching for third-party dependencies on the user system.
  • build_pytorch_libs.py - cross-platform script that builds all of the constituent libraries of PyTorch, but not the PyTorch Python extension itself.
  • build_libtorch.py - Script for building libtorch, a standalone C++ library without Python support. This build script is tested in CI.

Developer tools which you might find useful:

Important if you want to run on AMD GPU:

  • amd_build - HIPify scripts, for transpiling CUDA into AMD HIP. Right now, PyTorch and Caffe2 share logic for how to do this transpilation, but have separate entry-points for transpiling either PyTorch or Caffe2 code.
    • build_amd.py - Top-level entry point for HIPifying our codebase.

Tools which are only situationally useful:
