Changes and Additions to CppAD During 2022
##########################################

mm-dd
*****

12-25
=====
#. The column widths of some of the documentation tables were set to be equal
   instead of adjusting to best fit the columns.
   This has been fixed.
#. Fix two tables that were not converted to sphinx correctly. To be specific,
   the table below Matrix Dimension in
   :ref:`atomic_three_mat_mul.hpp-name` and
   :ref:`atomic_two_eigen_mat_mul.hpp-name` .

12-23
=====
Add documentation for the binary operation
:ref:`ad_binary@Zero Special Cases` .
In addition fix a bug in these special cases
when zero was multiplied by or divided by nan.

12-16
=====
Finish conversion of CppAD documentation from
`omhelp <http://bradbell.github.io/omhelp/doc/omhelp.htm>`_
to the sphinx
`xrst <http://bradbell.github.io/xrst/html/purpose.html>`_  wrapper.
The following is a link to the
`old documentation <http://coin-or.github.io/CppAD/doc/cppad.htm>`_ .

11-05
=====
Fix a conversion error during the tests by extending the zdouble
:ref:`constructor<zdouble@Syntax@Constructor and Assignment>`
to ``zdouble`` ( *i* ) where *i* is ``long`` .

08-30
=====
The :ref:`optimize-name` operations was not handeling
comparison operators that only had parameters,
with at least one dynamic parameter.
This has been fixed.

07-16
=====
Add the option to configure eigen using
:ref:`cmake@eigen_prefix` ,
as well as with
:ref:`cmake@include_eigen` .

07-14
=====

#. There was a mistake in the implementation of the
   :ref:`ad_ctor@x@explicit` ``AD`` < *Base* > constructor.
   To be specific, the value was converted to ``double`` before being
   converted to ``AD`` < *Base* > .
   This has been fixed and the :ref:`ad_ctor-name` documentation has been
   improved to note which result are always constant parameters.
#. **API Change** :
   It was necessary (due to the fix above) to add the
   :ref:`int constructor<base_member@Constructors@int>` and
   :ref:`double constructor<base_member@Constructors@double>` to the
   :ref:`base_require-name` .
   (Defining a base class is an advanced topic and only for experts).

07-12
=====
The :ref:`cmake@CMake Command` was not properly determining
when posix threads could be used (when using a C compiler other than gcc).
This suppressed the running of the corresponding examples; e.g.,
:ref:`a11c_pthread.cpp-name` .

07-10
=====

#. Add the cmake_needs_dot_slash symbol to the cmake command line.
   This has since been removed; see whats_new_23 for
   :ref:`whats_new_23@mm-dd@06-01`.
#. Change the test case in ``speed/example/speed_program.cpp`` because
   some compilers have gotten smarter and do not calculate values
   that are not used.
   This lead to an the repeat count overflowing and then an infinite loop.
   The :ref:`speed_test-name` and :ref:`speedtest-name` routines now check for
   an overflow of the repeat counter and abort.
#. Suppress the Microsoft compiler divide by zero warning, C4723.

07-08
=====
Change `github actions <https://github.com/coin-or/CppAD/actions>`_:
run on pushes to the master and stable branches, and
run on all pull requests.

07-05
=====
Merge in pull_155 branch.
This enabled the use of binary operators with Eigen matrices of
type ``AD`` < *Base* > and type *Base* ;
see :ref:`ScalarBinaryOpTraits<cppad_eigen.hpp@Eigen ScalarBinaryOpTraits>`
in ``cppad_eigen.hpp`` .

06-23
=====

#. Change *x* to :ref:`to_csrc@u` in the ``to_csrc`` operation
   and add specifications as the position of the independent dynamic
   parameters and variables in *u* .
#. Add the :ref:`jit_dynamic.cpp-name` and :ref:`jit_compile.cpp-name` examples.
#. Remove some remaining uses of ``CPPAD_TEST_VECTOR`` .
#. Deprecate use of the following symbols:
   ``CPPAD_`` *package* ``VECTOR`` for *package* equal to
   ``CPPAD`` , ``STD`` , ``BOOST`` , ``EIGEN`` .
#. Add the :ref:`cmake@cmake_defined_ok` symbol
   to the cmake command line.
   This enables one to run cmake with a ``CMakeCache.txt`` file.

06-22
=====

#. Modify the :ref:`cmake@CMake Command@msys2`
   and :ref:`cmake@CMake Command@Visual Studio`
   install suggestions.
#. Split the JIT function type
   *type* _ ``forward_zero`` into
   ``jit_`` *type* for :ref:`to_csrc@JIT Functions` , and
   ``atomic_`` *type* for :ref:`to_csrc@Atomic Callbacks` .
#. Add the :ref:`jit_atomic.cpp-name` example.
#. The ``CPPAD_TEST_VECTOR`` macro was removed
   (it was deprecated on 2012-07-03).
#. Remove the following symbols from the :ref:`testvector-name` documentation:
   ``CPPAD_`` *package* ``VECTOR`` for *package* equal to
   ``CPPAD`` , ``STD`` , ``BOOST`` , ``EIGEN`` .

06-21
=====
Change the visual C++ JIT compile flag ``/Tc`` to the flag ``/TC`` ,
so that the C source file need not follow directly after in the compile
command. This fixed a test failure when using that compiler.

06-20
=====
JIT C source code generation, compilation, and linking were added using
the following new features, examples, and speed tests:

.. csv-table::
   :widths: auto

   to_csrc,:ref:`to_csrc-title`
   create_dll_lib,:ref:`create_dll_lib-title`
   link_dll_lib,:ref:`link_dll_lib-title`
   example_jit,:ref:`example_jit-title`
   cppad_jit_det_minor.cpp,:ref:`cppad_jit_det_minor.cpp-title`

The following improvements were made to existing features:

#. Fix a clang++ compiler warning in the file check_for_nan.hpp.

05-27
=====
Add the theory, but not implementation, for the atomic linear ODE
second order reverse mode; see
:ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode_reverse_2-name` .

05-26
=====

#. The atomic linear ODE maximum :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode@step` size
   was not being enforced during the reverse mode
   :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode_reverse.hpp@Simpson's Rule`
   integral approximation.
   This has been fixed.
#. Make :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode_forward.hpp@extend_ode`
   a separate function in the atomic linear ODE example.

05-20
=====
Merge in the pull_144 branch.
This fixed some problems with the windows visual studio build; see
the corresponding pull request.

05-19
=====

#. The atomic four ``base_lin_ode`` function was changed to
   :ref:`base_solver<atomic_four_lin_ode_base_solver.hpp-name>` .
   In addition, a maximum :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode@step`
   size was added to this atomic linear ODE solver.
#. Fix setting of debug and release flags in
   ``test_more/debug_rel/CMakeLists.txt`` .

05-17
=====
The :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode_rev_depend.hpp-name` example was added.
In addition, remove the Under Construction headings from the
:ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode-name` sections (it is ready for use).

05-16
=====

#. The :ref:`atomic_four_hes_sparsity@ident_zero_x` argument
   was added to the atomic four Hessian sparsity callback.
   The previous version of this callback still works but is deprecated.
#. Add :ref:`Var2Par-name` set in the ``cppad_eigen.hpp``
   :ref:`cppad_eigen.hpp@std Definitions` of the AD versions of
   ``isinf`` and ``isnan`` .
#. Change the atomic four example Hessian sparsity callbacks to use the
   :ref:`atomic_four_hes_sparsity@ident_zero_x` .
   In the special case of :ref:`atomic_four_norm_sq.cpp-name` ,
   do not include *ident_zero_x* and mention that this version
   of the callback is deprecated.

05-15
=====

#. Merge in the pull_140 branch.
   This extended CppAD :ref:`base_limits-name` and :ref:`numeric_limits-name`
   to include ``infinity()`` .
   In addition,  ``cppad_eigen.hpp`` added ``isinf``
   and ``isnan`` for AD types to the std namespace; see
   :ref:`cppad_eigen.hpp@std Definitions` .

#. Fix a long standing bug in the :ref:`for_hes_sparsity-name` routine.
   For example,
   the function called ``case_seven`` in
   ``test_more/general/hes_sparsity.cpp/`` tests a case
   where this bug occurred.

#. Add the :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode_hes_sparsity.hpp-name` example.

05-13
=====
The :ref:`code_gen_fun examples<code_gen_fun@Examples>` were
not being built even when
:ref:`cmake@include_cppadcg`
was specified on the cmake command line.
This has been fixed.

05-12
=====
The :ref:`cmake-name` script ``cmake/compile_source_test.cmake`` was not
working properly on Darwin systems which resulted in the following warning:

| |tab| ``warning:`` ``'tmpnam'`` ``is deprecated:`` ...
| |tab| |tab| ``file_name`` = ``tmpnam`` ( ``nullptr`` );

This has been fixed.

05-11
=====
A mathematical :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode_jac_sparsity.hpp@Theory`
was added to the linear ODE Jacobian sparsity pattern example.
In addition, the corresponding code was changed to match the theory.
This may, or may not, have fixed some bugs in the previous version
of this routine.

05-10
=====
The :ref:`atomic_four_jac_sparsity@ident_zero_x` argument
was added to the atomic four Jacobian sparsity callback.
The previous version of this callback still works but is deprecated.

05-09
=====

#. Add a theory section to the linear ODE
   :ref:`for_type<atomic_four_lin_ode_for_type.hpp@Theory>` section.
   In addition more the linear ODE theory for forward and reverse mode to the
   corresponding
   :ref:`forward<atomic_four_lin_ode_forward.hpp@Theory>` and
   :ref:`reverse<atomic_four_lin_ode_reverse.hpp@First Order Theory>` sections.
#. Back out an incorrect change on 04-15 to the meaning of
   :ref:`atomic_four_jac_sparsity@select_x` and
   :ref:`atomic_four_jac_sparsity@select_y` in the
   atomic four Jacobian sparsity documentation.
#. Add the specification that the atomic four
   :ref:`atomic_four_call@for_type` callback
   will be called once for each atomic function call and before any other
   of the callbacks for the atomic function call.

05-07
=====
Add the :ref:`base2vec_ad.cpp-name` example demonstrating that :ref:`base2ad-name`
does not convert :ref:`VecAD-name` operations as might be expected.
Add a link to this example in both the base2ad and VecAD documentation
and a :ref:`base2ad wish_list<wish_list@base2ad>` item about this.

05-06
=====
There was a bug in combining the :ref:`discrete-name` functions with the
:ref:`base2ad-name` operation.
To be specific, if a discrete function was used during the recording of
*f* and *af* = *f* . ``base2ad`` () , the following assert
would happen during forward mode calculations using the *af* function:

| |tab| ``error from unknown source``
| |tab| ``Error detected by false result for``
| |tab| |tab| ``index < List`` (). ``size`` ()
| |tab| ``at line 325 in the file``
| |tab| ... ``discrete.hpp``

This bug has been fixed.

04-21
=====

#. Modify :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode_set.hpp-name` and
   :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode_get.hpp-name` to re-use sparsity patterns
   instead of creating a new one for every call.
   This makes use of
   :ref:`sparse_rc@set_row_major` to speed up checking
   for equality of sparsity patterns.
#. In the :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode_implement-name` files, change ``assert`` to
   :ref:`CPPAD_ASSERT_UNKNOWN<cppad_assert@Unknown>` .

04-20
=====
Add the
:ref:`sparse_rc@set_row_major` ,
:ref:`sparse_rc@get_row_major` ,
:ref:`sparse_rc@set_col_major` ,
:ref:`sparse_rc@get_col_major` ,
functions to the ``sparse_rc`` template class.

04-19
=====
Change the ODE solver in :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode-name` from
:ref:`runge45-name` to :ref:`rosen34-name` .

04-15
=====

#. Add :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode-name` an example of making the solution
   of an ODE an atomic operation.
   As with the other atomic four examples, the ``AD`` < *Base* >
   version of the derivative calculations a done using atomic operations.
#. Add the :ref:`sparse_rc@other@Equality` operator
   to the sparsity pattern template class.

03-29
=====
Add the :ref:`atomic_four_lin_ode-name` example
which is not yet complete.

03-26
=====
Change ``y(nx)`` to ``y(ny)`` in
:ref:`atomic_four_mat_mul_forward.cpp-name` .

03-25
=====

#. Fix :ref:`atomic_four_mat_mul-name` by changing it's base class
   from ``atomic_four<double>`` to ``atomic_four`` < *Base* > ;
   see :ref:`atomic_four_mat_mul.hpp-name` .
#. Remove under construction warning from :ref:`atomic_four_mat_mul-name` .
#. Change ``atomic_vector`` to :ref:`atomic_four_vector-name` .

03-24
=====
Fix :ref:`atomic_four_vector-name` by changing it's base class
from ``atomic_four<double>`` to ``atomic_four`` < *Base* > .
Make some other similar corrections in :ref:`atomic_four_vector.hpp-name` .

03-23
=====
Improve error detection and message when both
:ref:`cmake@cmake_build_type` and
:ref:`cmake@cppad_debug_which` are chosen
during the install procedure.

02-21
=====
Extend the json graph representation to include
:ref:`json_graph_op@Atomic Functions@Atomic Four` functions.
For example, see :ref:`json_atom4_op.cpp-name` .

02-19
=====
Extend the C++ graph representation to include atomic four
:ref:`atomic functions<graph_op_enum@Atomic Function>` .
For example, see :ref:`graph_atom4_op.cpp-name` .

02-18
=====
Fixed the value of *after* [ *i* ] in the
:ref:`cpp_ad_graph@operator_arg@print_graph_op` documentation.
To be specific, ``- 2`` was changed to ``- 1`` .

02-17
=====
Add ``identical_zero`` to the possible
:ref:`atomic_four_for_type@ad_type` values in
the atomic four ``for_type`` function.
See :ref:`atomic_four_vector_for_type.hpp-name` ,
:ref:`atomic_four_mat_mul_for_type.hpp-name` , and
:ref:`atomic_four_mat_mul_identical_zero.cpp-name`
for an examples using this feature.

02-16
=====
Use the :ref:`atomic_four_norm_sq.cpp-name` overrides
as examples for the virtual functions in the :ref:`atomic_four-name`
base class.

02-13
=====

#. The :ref:`atomic_four_mat_mul-name` example class was added.
#. The :ref:`atomic_four_vector-name` include path has changed to

      # ``include <cppad/example/atomic_four/vector.hpp>``

02-12
=====
Add the :ref:`sparse_rc@push_back` and
output stream (see :ref:`sparse_rc@os` ) operations
to the ``sparse_rc`` template class.

02-11
=====
The value of ``Libs:`` in the ``cppad.pc`` :ref:`pkgconfig-name` file
was not being set correctly for some cases. This has been fixed.

02-01
=====
Fix a possible integer overflow in the :ref:`to_string.cpp-name` example
(might cause the test to fail).

01-27
=====
Convert :ref:`atomic_four_forward.cpp-name` from an atomic_three
to an atomic_four example.

01-25
=====
Convert :ref:`atomic_four_dynamic.cpp-name` from an atomic_three
to an atomic_four example.

01-23
=====

#. Add :ref:`atomic_four-name` , a simpler interface to atomic functions.
   This has the optional :ref:`atomic_four_call@call_id` argument
   which can be used to attach extra information to an atomic function call.
#. The :ref:`atomic_four_vector-name` is a good example that uses
   *call_id* to specify which
   element by element operator is being called; see
   :ref:`call_id<atomic_four_vector@op>` .
#. Remove element-by-element atomic operations from :ref:`wish_list-name`
   (completed by the atomic_vector class).

01-19
=====
Edit wish_list cppad_lib
:ref:`wish_list@cppad_lib@Requirement` item.
Add an :ref:`wish_list@Optimization@Atomic Functions`
item to the optimization wish list.

01-15
=====

#. Fix some conversion warnings generated by the clang compiler
   for the :ref:`atomic_four_vector-name` example.
#. Correct the order of p, q in function calls in
   :ref:`atomic_four_vector_forward_op.hpp-name` .

01-06
=====

#. Fix the ``[]`` operator using CppAD vector
   :ref:`iterators<CppAD_vector@Iterators@operator[]>` .
   In addition it was extended to include ``size_t`` indices.
#. Add reverse mode to the :ref:`atomic_four_vector-name` ,  mul, div, operators
   and fix some warning used ``size_t`` iterator indices.

01-04
=====

#. Add the neg operator to :ref:`atomic_four_vector-name` .
#. Add reverse mode to the atomic_vector,  add, sub, and neg operators.

01-01
=====
The ``example/atomic_three/vector_op.cpp`` example
(see :ref:`atomic_four_vector-name` ) was split into multiple files and moved into the
``example/atomic_vector`` directory.
