Class _DLTensorStrideProxy

python/tvm/relax/expr.py:463–530

A proxy object for unpacking the strides from DLTensor Exposes accessors for the `DLTensor::strides` field. Accessing these fields will produce `relax.Call` expressions, representing the field's runtime value. If the datatype of the tensor is known at compile-time, the `relax.Call
