[ADOL-C] tape as binary string to use at compile time

[João Leal]

Hello Giang Bui,

I believe that does make sence. For instance, CppAD has an extension,
CppADCodegen (which I developed), that does exactly that.
CppADCodegen leads to significantly lower evaluation times (orders of
magnitude).
You can compile the model and its derivative evaluation code as a
static/dynamic library or just use JIT (LLVM).

Best regards,
João Leal
