What is the difference between GGML_OP_DUP and GGML_OP_CONT?

[tlemo]

The implementation seems shared between these two ops, are there any semantic differences?

[slaren]

ggml_dup is intended to duplicate tensors, ggml_cont is intended to make a contiguous copy of a tensor view. In practice they are the same operation.

Thank you, this is very helpful! Are the individual op semantics documented anywhere?

[slaren]

Unfortunately not, the only documentation are the comments in the source, and most ops have none.
