It's weird that an error occurs when we just swap the order of the input layers of layer.fc.

For example:

import paddle.v2 as paddle


def main():
    hidden_size = 128
    dict_size = 30000
    paddle.init(use_gpu=False, trainer_count=1)

    words = paddle.layer.data(
        name="words",
        type=paddle.data_type.integer_value_sequence(dict_size))
    next_words = paddle.layer.data(
        name='next_words',
        type=paddle.data_type.integer_value_sequence(dict_size))

    def recurrent_step(embedding):
        last_memory = paddle.layer.memory(name="memory", size=hidden_size)
        memory_update = paddle.layer.fc(
            name="memory", input=[last_memory, embedding], size=hidden_size)
        predict = paddle.layer.fc(
            input=[embedding, memory_update],
            size=dict_size,
            act=paddle.activation.Softmax())
        return predict

    predict_seq = paddle.layer.recurrent_group(
        step=recurrent_step,
        input=[paddle.layer.embedding(input=words, size=hidden_size)])
    cost = paddle.layer.classification_cost(
        input=predict_seq, label=next_words)

    parameters = paddle.parameters.create(cost)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

This works OK. But if we swap the order of the fc layer's inputs, from

        predict = paddle.layer.fc(
            input=[embedding, memory_update],
            size=dict_size,
            act=paddle.activation.Softmax())

to

        predict = paddle.layer.fc(
            input=[memory_update, embedding],
            size=dict_size,
            act=paddle.activation.Softmax())

We will have the error:

which is not expected.

Notice that this happens within a recurrent_group.
