[Solved] Hybrid Frontend Passing Var error

#1 
import tvm

@tvm.hybrid.script
def test(a, b, val):
    for i in range(a.shape[0]):
        b[i] = a[i] * val
    return b


if __name__ == '__main__':
    a_plc = tvm.placeholder((5,))
    b_plc = tvm.placeholder((5,))
    val_v = tvm.const(0.5, dtype="float32")
    c = test(a_plc, b_plc, val_v)
    print(c)

returns following error:

OK. I know the problem now.
So far only var and tensors are supported.
Thus, the correct way to invoke this function is

val_v = tvm.var(dtype='float32')

c = test(a, b, v)
#after compilation you can pass a const
#like this!
module(nd_a, nd_b, 1.5)

OK. I think for ssd op, we need to support passing values.

new pr has supported this requirement…
