// Infer shapes for the given `op`. The arguments mimic the arguments of the
// `shape_inference::InferenceContext` constructor. Note the following:
//   - The inputs of the `op` are not used for shape inference. So, it is
//     OK to not have the inputs properly set in `op`. See `input_tensors`
//     if you want shape inference to consider the input tensors of the
//     op for shape inference.

*   Tracing/timeline support for distributed runtime (no GPU profiler yet).
*   C API gives access to inferred shapes with `TF_GraphGetTensorNumDims` and
    `TF_GraphGetTensorShape`.
*   Shape functions for core ops have moved to C++ via
    `REGISTER_OP(...).SetShapeFn(...)`. Python shape inference RegisterShape
    calls use the C++ shape functions with `common_shapes.call_cpp_shape_fn`. A
    future release will remove `RegisterShape` from python.
