Until TF-982 is implemented,
@derivative
s of protocol requirements don't do anything. Therefore, this PR forbids them and adds a test that they are forbidden.I am doing this because it fixes a problem that prevents me from removing
vjp:
fromFloatingPoint.squareRoot
. The problem is that you get an "ambiguous reference" error because it can't tell if you want the@derivative
on the requirement or the default implementation. This PR also adds a test that this problem is fixed (protocol HasADefaultImplementation
).The portions of this PR in code that have been upstreamed should be upstreamed. I will do this in a separate PR after merging this PR, because I want to run this PR through our full
tensorflow
-specific test suite.
