Description
In Tilus and Hidet, we use the following way to define data types:
class IntegerType(DataType):
...
int32 = IntegerType(...)
We use types like int32 as the type hint in the DSL:
class MyKernel(tilus.Script):
def __call__(self, a: int32):
...
IDEs like PyCharm and VSCode will report warning like
Type hint is invalid or refers to the expression which is not a correct type
We need to change the way of defining data types to avoid such warning.
Workaround: to temporarily disable the warning, we can configure the IDE settings.
- For PyCharm:
Settings -> Editor -> Inspections -> Python -> Security -> Unmark "Invalid type hints usage and definitions".

Research direction
Start by tracing how Tilus and Hidet define primitive and pointer data types, then follow their use as annotations in the DSL. Done means these types are represented as real classes so PyCharm and VSCode no longer report invalid type-hint warnings, while the existing DSL behavior remains intact.
