// ViewMeta is a class used by the functionalization pass to navigate between
// a base tensor and a view tensor.
// For example, if I call `b = a.view1(...)`
// the functionalization pass will generate and store a ViewMeta on b that looks
// like:
//
// ViewMeta(
//   [<captures>](const Tensor& base, int64_t mutated_view_idx) {
//     return base.view1(...);
//   },
//   [<captures>](const at::Tensor& base, const at::Tensor& mutated_view,
//   int64_t mutated_view_idx) -> at::Tensor {
//     return at::functionalization::impl::view1_inverse(base, mutated_view,
//     ...);
//   }
//
// The forward_fn lambda describes how to replay view1 on a tensor.
//
// The reverse_fn lambda describes how, given a tensor that is already a view,
// how to get the corresponding base tensor. See Note [Functionalization Pass:
// View Inverses] for details.

// FunctionalStorageImpl is a subclass of StorageImpl used by the
// functionalization pass. It has no underlying data (similar to meta storage).
// It also knows how to reflect mutations to tensors in the absence of a valid
// data pointer.
//
// A storage represents the state shared by (potentially multiple) views of the
// same tensor. For example, in the following code:
//
// b = a.view1(...)
// c = b.view2(...)
// b.add_(1)
// --> storage.add_update(b, {view1_meta})
//
// The call to add_(1) will result in a call to alias.add_update(b,
// {view1_meta}), queueing up the mutation from b onto the alias. Later, suppose
// c is used in an expression (e.g. you try to print c, or pass it to an
// operator). Doing so will involve "syncing" c. First we apply any pending
// updates to the alias, and then we regenerate c by replaying its views off of
// the updated alias. E.g:
//
// print(str(c))
// --> c.sync_()
//     --> alias.apply_updates() // after this, the alias will be updated to
//     reflect the mutation to b
