Problem description
In tt-metal, primitive types such as
uint32_t
/int
often get used to alias distinct meaningful concepts likeDeviceId
,chip_id
,ethernet_channel_t
, etc. This is error prone, as this allows interchangeable uses with their underlying types.What's changed
Add
StrongTypeHandle
as a way to create strong aliases that are incompatible with each other:std::hash
andstd::ostream
(if the underlying type supports these).Checklist
