    Warning:
    
        This API must be used after building network, and before ``minimize`` , 
        and it may be removed in future releases, so it is not recommended. 
        It is recommended to set ``grad_clip`` when initializing the ``optimizer`` ,
        this is a better method to clip gradient. There are three clipping strategies:
         :ref:`api_fluid_clip_GradientClipByGlobalNorm` , :ref:`api_fluid_clip_GradientClipByNorm` , 
         :ref:`api_fluid_clip_GradientClipByValue` .
        
    To specify parameters that require gradient clip.

    Args:
        grad_clip (GradientClipBase, optional): Gradient cliping strategy, it's an instance of 
            some derived class of ``GradientClipBase`` . There are three cliping strategies

            :ref:`api_fluid_clip_GradientClipByValue` ). Default value: None, and there is no 
            gradient clipping.
        param_list (list(Variable), optional): Parameters that require gradient clip.
                It can be a list of parameter or a list of parameter's name.
                Default None, meaning that all parameters in the program will be included.
        program (Program, optional): The program where parameters are located.
                Default None, meaning that using :ref:`api_fluid_default_main_program` .
