There are two LoadPersistables. Can merge them into one?

I'd like to keep two Load() interfaces as:

std::unique_ptr<framework::ProgramDesc> Load( framework::Executor& executor, framework::Scope& scope, const std::string& dirname); std::unique_ptr<framework::ProgramDesc> Load( framework::Executor& executor, framework::Scope& scope, const std::string& prog_filename, const std::string& params_filename);

Users are free to rename the file which saving the program. The argument list of save_inference_model may be changed in the future. #7995 is merged, we need to test the new Load. Please use the new Load in the unittest instead.

Sorry for not describing my suggest clearly. I mean to define the interface to:

std::unique_ptr<framework::ProgramDesc> Load( framework::Executor& executor, framework::Scope& scope, const std::string& prog_filepath, const std::string& param_filepath);

No need of dirname any more.

Oh, I think you described your suggestion clearly: #8024 (comment)

But, I chose to keep another argument of dirname to make stuff consistent with the python side. More specifically, in save_vars() we have: https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/python/paddle/v2/fluid/io.py#L124, and in load_vars() we have: https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/python/paddle/v2/fluid/io.py#L202

Hence, I put that extra argument. But it seems that you would prefer an implementation without it, so I will modify it. Thanks.

Please try to reuse these codes (line 101 - 109 and line 124 - 133).Maybe we can directly call the following Load() to simplify the implementation.

In our unittests, we can fix the param_filename to __PARAMS__, so that no need for the two gflags variables.

Okay, sure. I will hardcode the string then.

Change the definition of TestInference to:

template <typename Place, typename T, boolean IsCombined> void TestInference(const std::string& dirname, ...

Then change line 38 to:

if (IsCombined) { ... } else { ... }

So that we can define and call a common TestInference function for the two unittests.

Move this function to test_inference_recognize_digits.cc.
Please note that we should avoid repeated codes.

Sorry, i didn't think about hardcoding the strings, hence couldn't think of a way to have everything together.

Please don't add this loop. This will twice the burden of CI. If there is not another way, we may only test the combined save/load.

I added just 1 unit-test for the 'separate' params case.

Unlike C++, if else statements don't define a scope in Python. So model_file_name is visible outside.

I think this function is a common function to read binary to string. If there is no other use for this reading function, how about change it to

std::unique_ptr<framework::ProgramDesc> ReadProgram(const std::string& filename)

But we can change this in next PR.

I think this function will also be useful for "loading-from-buffer" case. I have changed the name to ReadBinaryFile.

Tensor and LoDTensor have no name. If there is something wrong (for example, user coincidentally gives a wrong param_filename), there is no warning information at all. It will be difficult for users to debug. Can we add another mechanism to check or ensure the correctness? We can refer to other frameworks. Also, this can be done in next PR.

Good point, will think about it and as you mentioned will do later.

The naming style is not friendly for users. We need to refine this interface.
