<p>Currently, for each C++ operator class definition, there registers a <em>gradient operator creator</em> function, which takes a C++ operator instance and returns the corresponding gradient operator instance.</p>
<p>However, we noticed two problems with the current deisgn:</p>
<ol class="simple">
<li>As we decided to separate the <em>compilation</em> and <em>execution</em> phases, we need to change the creator to take an <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpDesc</span></code> protobuf message in a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> and inserts corresponding <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpDesc</span></code> messages into the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> message.</li>
<li>Some operator&#8217;s gradient computation requires more than one gradient operators.  For example, the gradient of <em>minus</em> consists of two operators &#8211; an identity operaotr and a scale operator.  So we need to make the registration mechanism to support the mapping from an operator to a set of operators for gradient computation.</li>

<p>We can write many helper functions since the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GradOpDescMakerBase</span></code> is a class now.

<p>We should chagne register macros at the same time. In the current solution, there is no difference between forwarding operators and backward operators. So <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REGISTER_OP</span></code> just register one operator.

It can be done by a macro contains <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__VA_ARGS__</span></code>.</p>
<p>The user interface should be</p>
<div class="highlight-cpp"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">vector</span><span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">OpDesc</span><span class="o">&gt;</span> <span class="n">MinusOpGradMaker</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">OpDesc</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{...}</span>
<span class="n">REGISTER_OPERATOR</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">minus</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">MinusOp</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">MinusOpProtoAndCheckerMaker</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">SumOpGradMaker</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="c1">// Developers can still manually implement gradient operator.</span>
<span class="n">REGISTER_OPERATOR</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">minus_grad</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">MinusGradOp</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The interface of current <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REGISTER_OP</span></code> macro could not be changed. In <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REGISTER_OP</span></code>, it will invoke <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">REGISTER_OPERATOR</span></code> two times and generate GradOpDescMaker inside.</p>
<div class="highlight-cpp"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">REGISTER_OP</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">minus</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">MinusOp</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">MinusOpProtoAndCheckerMaker</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">minus_grad</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">MinusGradOp</span><span class="p">);</span>
