areusch opened a new issue, #12098: URL: https://github.com/apache/tvm/issues/12098
Raised as part of https://github.com/apache/tvm-rfcs/pull/84, we should document the convention around indicating that GlobalVar and function names are reserved (and consider if this should extend to Var as well). From the community meeting, @tqchen indicates: > right now there is an implicit convention: the `name_hint` is not final (it's just an internal-to-compiler concept) and there's a GlobalVar which enforces that there is external linkage type with a fixed name. e.g. if we are splitting the compilation flow, then there is an expectation that when calling into a symbol, the name won't change. another rule: if a function has attribute `kGlobalSymbol`, you cannot change it or even delete it. adding this to backlog to document cc @hpanda-naut @kparzysz-quic -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
