Side effect tracking and management for TorchDynamo's compilation system.
5+
6+
This module provides infrastructure for tracking and managing side effects that occur
7+
during symbolic execution, including:
8+
9+
- Tracking mutations to objects, attributes, and variables
10+
- Managing context changes (cell variables, global namespace modifications)
11+
- Handling aliasing and object identity preservation
12+
- Managing stack frame state and local variable changes
13+
- Tracking function calls with side effects
14+
15+
Key classes:
16+
- SideEffects: Main container for tracking all side effects during execution
17+
- MutableSideEffects: Specialization for mutable object tracking
18+
- AttributeMutation/ValueMutation: Track specific types of mutations
19+
- Various specialized side effect classes for different scenarios
20+
21+
The side effect system ensures that mutations performed during symbolic execution
22+
are properly replayed during runtime, maintaining the correctness of compiled code
23+
while enabling optimizations where safe.
