Tensor is a deleted function - Print method

[CarlosYeverino]

Hi all,

I am getting 2 errors during building solution. I checked the header file tensor.h and I saw the following: /**

• @brief Delete the copy constructor and use Clone explicitly */ Tensor(const Tensor<Context>& src) = delete;

The mentioned 2 errors: Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error (active) function "caffe2::Tensor<Context>::Tensor(const caffe2::Tensor<Context> &src) [with Context=caffe2::CPUContext]" (declared at line 706 of "d:\Yeverino\git_projects\pytorch\caffe2\core\tensor.h") cannot be referenced -- it is a deleted function ConsoleApplication1 d:\Yeverino\visual studio projects\ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1.cpp 11

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error C2280 'caffe2::Tensorcaffe2::CPUContext::Tensor(const caffe2::Tensorcaffe2::CPUContext &)': attempting to reference a deleted function ConsoleApplication1 d:\yeverino\visual studio projects\consoleapplication1\consoleapplication1\consoleapplication1.cpp 11

How should I modify the print method included in the tutorials in order to fix the errors? void print(const Blob* blob, const std::string& name) { auto tensor = blob->Get<TensorCPU>(); const auto& data = tensor.data(); std::cout << name << "(" << tensor.dims() << "): " << std::vector(data, data + tensor.size()) << std::endl; }

As the comment mentioned: "Delete the copy constructor and use Clone explicitly" const auto& data = tensor.Clone().data();

Hi @rednoah91 ,

thanks for your reply.

I tried what you mentioned, however, errors are still there. Errors are caused by line 11 in the print method (auto tensor = blob->Get();). Do you know how to fix it?

[ferasboulala]

auto tensor = blob->Get<TensorCPU>().Clone()

Just add the .Clone() whenever you refer to a TensorCPU object.

Hi @zacario-li @ferasboulala ,

for some cases your suggestion fixed the error, however, I also get the following error:

The relevant code for the error:

  Workspace workspace("tmp");
  CAFFE_ENFORCE(workspace.RunNetOnce(init_net));
  auto input = workspace.CreateBlob("data")->GetMutable<TensorCPU>();

I added .Clone after GetMutable<TensorCPU>() but then I got the following error:

Any ideas to fix this error?
