class detect_anomaly(object):
    r"""Context-manager that enable anomaly detection for the autograd engine.

    This does two things:
    - Running the forward pass with detection enabled will allow the backward
    pass to print the traceback of the forward operation that created the failing
    backward function.
    - Any backward computation that generate "nan" value will raise an error.

    Example:

        >>> import torch
        >>> from torch import autograd
        >>> class MyFunc(autograd.Function):
        ...     @staticmethod
        ...     def forward(ctx, inp):
        ...         return inp.clone()
        ...     @staticmethod
        ...     def backward(ctx, gO):
        ...         # Error during the backward pass
        ...         raise RuntimeError("Some error in backward")
        ...         return gO.clone()
        >>> def run_fn(a):
        ...     out = MyFunc.apply(a)
        ...     return out.sum()
        >>> inp = torch.rand(10, 10, requires_grad=True)
        >>> out = run_fn(inp)
        >>> out.backward()
