any_int: unsupported dtype {:?}

Error message

any_int: unsupported dtype {:?}

What it means

Dtype-dispatch exhaustiveness panic: `any_int` covers all signed/unsigned integer dtypes; a float or bool tensor reaching this int any-reduction hits the fallback panic, indicating a misrouted op in the Flex backend's op table.

Solutions

  1. Check the dtype and call any_float for float tensors instead
  2. Cast the tensor to an integer dtype if int semantics are intended
  3. Assert the dtype family before dispatching to any_int/any_float

Example fix

// before
let has_any = any_int(f32_tensor, BoolDType::Native);
// after
let has_any = any_float(f32_tensor, BoolDType::Native);
Defensive patterns

Strategy: type-guard

Validate before calling

if !matches!(t.dtype(), DType::I64|DType::I32|DType::I16|DType::I8|DType::U64|DType::U32|DType::U16|DType::U8) { /* route to any_float or cast */ }

Type guard

fn is_int_dtype(d: &DType) -> bool {
    matches!(d, DType::I64|DType::I32|DType::I16|DType::I8|DType::U64|DType::U32|DType::U16|DType::U8)
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the public any_int(tensor, out_dtype) with a float (F32/F64/F16/BF16) or Bool tensor.

Common situations: Passing float tensors to the int variant by mistake; generic reduction helpers that don't branch on dtype family.
