Update function not used anymore in conv?

[Jeriousman]

I have been checking PyG built-in conv layers like GATConv, SAGEConv, and GIN_CONV and seen that update function was not defined to update embeddings anywhere. Why is that? Is the update function fused in somewhere? Can you please clarify this?

The update method is still supported. However, in our code base, we mostly removed it and instead placed all of its original code simply after the propagate call. This has the same effect but is probably easier to read and understand.

I see. Thank you. Unless I investigate source code thoroughly, just with documentation it would be a bit hard to pin I guess. Thank you for your answer
