from paddle.nn import Layer


class Stub(Layer):
    r"""
    The stub is used as placeholders that will be replaced by observers before PTQ or QAT.
    It is hard to assign a quantization configuration to a functional API called in
    the forward of a layer. Instead, we can create a stub and add it to the sublayers of the layer.
    And call the stub before the functional API in the forward. The observer held by the
    stub will observe or quantize the inputs of the functional API.
    Args:
        observer(QuanterFactory) - The configured information of the observer to be inserted.
        It will use a global configuration to create the observers if the 'observer' is none.
    Examples:
        .. code-block:: python
            import paddle
            from paddle.nn.quant import Stub
            from paddle.quantization.quanters import FakeQuanterWithAbsMaxObserver
            from paddle.nn import Conv2D
            from paddle.quantization import QAT, QuantConfig
            quanter = FakeQuanterWithAbsMaxObserver(moving_rate=0.9)
