# Some explanation of our execution system 2022.03
# For now we have 3 kinds of execution system, since we refactored dygraph mode to 
# build a fast execution system for dynamic mode. But we can't just remove all legacy
# code once we present the new system for some historical reason. That's why we have 
# these flags.
# 
# 1. _non_static_mode():
# _non_static_mode means  we are now running in legacy dygraph mode or dygraph mode. 
# 2. dygraph_mode():
# This flags inidicates we are now running in dygraph mode which called eager mode before.
# 3. _in_legacy_dygraph():
# This flags inidicates we are now running in legacy dygraph mode
# 
# They have a relation ship as below:
# Both dygraph_mode and _in_legacy_dygraph are _non_static_mode, but if you are running in 
# dygraph mode means you are not in _in_legacy_dygraph.
# 
# Why we have to make different of _in_legacy_dygraph and dygraph_mode?
# In some performance issue, we find that python if statement cause server performance problem
# and we need our new dygraph mode becomes as fast as it could be. That's why we make these flags
# to make sure in most case, we find new dygraph mode first with only one if statement.

    **Notes**:
        **The constructor of Variable should not be invoked directly.**

        **In Static Graph Mode: Please use** `Block.create_var` **to create a Static variable which has no data until being feed.**

        **In Dygraph Mode: Please use** :ref:`api_fluid_dygraph_to_variable` **to create a dygraph variable with real data**

    In Fluid, every input and output of an OP is a variable. In most
    cases, variables are used for holding different kinds of data or training
    labels. A variable belongs to a :ref:`api_guide_Block_en` . All variable has its own name and
    two variables in different :ref:`api_guide_Block_en` could have the same name.

    There are many kinds of variables. Each kind of them has its own attributes
    and usages. Please refer to the `framework.proto <https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/paddle/fluid/framework/framework.proto>`_ for details.

    Most of a Variable's member variables can be set to be None. It mean
    it is not available or will be specified later.

    Examples:
        In Static Graph Mode:

class Operator(object):
    """
    In Fluid, all the operation are represented by Operator, and Operator
    is regarded as a build in an instruction of a Block. Users can use the
    build in instructions to describe their neural network.

    Args:
        block(Block): The block has the current operator.
        desc(core.OpDesc): The protobuf description of Operator.
        type(str): The type of operator. Default None.
        inputs(dict): The input of this Operator. it is a dictionary, for every
            element, key is the input parameter name, and value is a list of
            variables. Default None.
        outputs(dict): The output of this Operator. it is a dictionary, for
            every element, key is the input parameter name, and value is a list
            of variables. Default None.
        attrs(dict): The attributes of this Operator. it is a dictionary, for
            every element, key is attribute name, and value is the attribute value.
            The attribute type should be as same as the type registered in C++ side.
            Default None.

    Returns:
        Operator: The initialized Operator.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If the passed input, output and attrs doesn't match the
            initializing Operator's that registered in C++ side.

    Notes:
        The constructor of operator should not be invoked directly. Use
        Block.append_op or Block._prepend_op instead.

            1. :code:`Program.clone()` method DOES NOT clone :ref:`api_paddle_io_DataLoader` . 
            2. Recommend you to use :code:`clone` before using :code:`Opimizer.minimize` . 
            3. This API has no effect in Dygraph Mode.

        Create a new Program with forward content of original one when ``for_test=True``.
        Create a new Program as same as the original one when ``for_test=False``.

        Some operators, e.g., :ref:`api_paddle_fluid_layers_batch_norm` , behave differently between
        training and testing. They have an attribute, :code:`is_test`, to
        control this behaviour. This method will change the :code:`is_test`
        attribute of them to :code:`True` when :code:`for_test=True`.

        * Set for_test to False when you want to clone the program for training.
        * Set for_test to True when you want to clone the program for testing.
          We will prune the backward and optimize part of the program when you
          use :code:`clone` after :code:`Opimizer.minimize`, but we still
          recommend you to use :code:`clone` before using :code:`Opimizer.minimize`.

        For Example:
          ::

            import paddle
            import paddle.static as static

            paddle.enable_static()

            img = static.data(name='image', shape=[None, 784])
            pred = static.nn.fc(x=img, size=10, actvation='relu')
            loss = paddle.mean(pred)
            # Here we use clone before Momentum
            test_program = static.default_main_program().clone(for_test=True)
            optimizer = paddle.optimizer.Momentum(learning_rate=0.01, momentum=0.9)
            optimizer.minimize(loss)

        Args:

            for_test (bool): True if change the :code:`is_test` attribute of operators to :code:`True`
                and prune the backward and optimize part of the program. The default value is :code:`False` .

        Returns:
            Program: A new Program with forward content of original one when ``for_test=True``.  A new Program as same as the original one when ``for_test=False``


        Examples:

            .. note::
                The Program's order maybe different after :code:`clone` and
                this will not affect your training or testing progress. In the following
                example we give you an simple method :code:`print_prog(program)` to
                print Program Descs inorder to make sure you have same print result
