Dropping issue with pytorch v0.4

[Cadene]

See: https://github.com/ShichenLiu/CondenseNet/blob/3b4398ed1987f6f7c891d81a470578dcc5c5562c/layers.py#L88

Weird stuff in the Pytorch API:

self._mask[i::self.groups, d, :, :].fill_(0)

... does not fill in place. So you must do:

self._mask[i::self.groups, d, :, :] = self._mask[i::self.groups, d, :, :].fill_(0)

Are you sure this is still the case in PyTorch v4? The following seems to work as expected for me:

>>> mask = torch.randn(6, 6)
>>> mask[2:4, 2].fill_(1)
tensor([ 1.,  1.])
>>> mask
tensor([[ 1.2523,  0.0436,  0.2293,  0.4972,  0.3498, -0.5289],
        [ 0.2715, -0.6395, -0.4040, -0.0956,  2.0621, -0.2742],
        [-1.1218, -0.6558,  1.0000,  0.8173, -0.9228, -0.5790],
        [ 0.5054, -0.1156,  1.0000, -2.0711, -0.4015, -0.4124],
        [-0.3459, -1.3607, -1.2971,  0.8082, -0.3922, -0.9164],
        [-0.1380,  2.4906,  0.1439,  0.5443, -0.5832, -0.0053]])
>>> torch.__version__
'0.4.0'

Sorry for not having provided a way to reproduce the issue.

>>> mask = torch.randn(6,6)
>>> d = torch.tensor(4)
>>> mask[:,d].fill_(0)
 0

 0

This is so weird!

>>> mask = torch.randn(6,6)
>>> d = torch.tensor(4)
>>> mask[:,d].fill_(0)
tensor([ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.])
>>> mask
tensor([[ 0.4902,  0.4365,  0.3559, -1.1388,  0.0000, -0.0941],
        [-1.3191, -1.6433,  0.0495,  0.8033,  0.0000, -0.0540],
        [-0.2329,  1.8308,  1.1086,  0.7165,  0.0000,  2.1508],
        [ 1.3866, -2.4296, -0.4366,  0.1136,  0.0000, -0.5286],

        [ 0.0350, -0.9614, -0.6592,  0.0031,  0.0000,  0.6525]])
>>> torch.__version__

Oh! :o
