Yes that is right. You should rerun this code with the new extra_arguments.

In the traced version of ADOL-C there is no such functionality. You need
to call the drivers like forward, reverse, jacobian, hessian etc.

You may also try out the traceless version. There you can get the
directional derivatives from the active variables too. Look at the
documentation and adouble.h file (namespace adtl).
