[ADOL-C] Wrapper around adouble

[João Leal]

Hello!


I am currently developing a modeling library that makes heavy use of adolc.

Since I do not know a priori whether or not a variable is constant (neither
dependent nor independent) almost all variables are defined as adoubles.


Would it be a good idea to create a wrapper around adoubles that would
internally also contain a double?


The idea would be:

############

adouble a = 3;

double b = 5;


Wrapper c = b; // the wrappers holds a double (no tapping)

Wrapper d = 5.0; // the wrappers holds a double (no tapping)


c = 4*2 + d; // the wrappers still holds a double (no tapping)


c += a; // now it holds an adouble (tapped)

###########


Does this make any sense?

Does adolc internally already do this?


Best regards,
