Differences between cgraph->leafs and cgraph->nodes?

[VincentXWD]

Hello, I'm wondering what the differences between cgraph->leafs and cgraph->nodes. Thank you very much.

Leaf nodes are the same as other nodes, except they are not a result from an operation. I.e. they are inputs to the graph - constants.

In hindsight it might have been an unnecessary categorization and we might decide to remove the concept of "leafs" in the future

Thanks for replying. I agree with this view.

Another quick question: How does ggml manage the temporary tensors generated by each node?
