Migration from 1.9 to 2.0

General usage

In general we tried to keep the main user interface intact. For a simple Hello World case only the access to the tape has changed.

CoDiPack 1.9:

using Tape = typename Real::TapeType;
Tape& tape = Real::getGlobalTape();
RealReverseGen< double > RealReverse
Definition codi.hpp:120
Represents a concrete lvalue in the CoDiPack expression tree.
Definition activeType.hpp:52

CoDiPack 2.0:

using Tape = typename Real::Tape; // TapeType -> Tape
Tape& tape = Real::getTape(); // getGlobalTape() -> getTape()
T_Tape Tape
See ActiveType.
Definition activeType.hpp:55
static Tape & getTape()
Get a reference to the tape which manages this expression.
Definition activeType.hpp:99

Overall, the rewrite of CoDiPack was done to improve the maintainability of the existing functionality and to support future features. For all internal classes, it was checked if the naming of the class properly hints at the use case the class wants to solve. The same has been done for function names and type declarations. Therefore, nearly everything in the internal structure of CoDiPack has changed and a complete list would be hard to assemble. The most notable changes are:

  • Type declarations inside of classes have dropped the Type suffix, especially true for type definitions of template arguments in classes.
  • getGradientData, GradientData have been renamed to getIdentifier, Identifier. This change reflects the general meaning of what the gradient data always has been, the identifier of the active types for the reverse tapes. This naming makes now less sence for the forward mode, but in general it should improve the understandability.

Incomplete list of major user interface changes.

Mpi communication

The MeDiPack implementation moved now to the final destination in codi/tools/mpi/codiMpiTypes.hpp. The structure CoDiMpiTypes moved into the codi namespace. Example 13 - MPI communication provides a demonstration of the full use case.

The correct definition is now:

#include "codi/tools/mpi/codiMpiTypes.hpp"
MPI datatype implementation for CoDipack types in the type wrapper of MeDiPack.
Definition codiMpiTypes.hpp:62

External functions

The interface of the codi::ExternalFunctionHelper is nearly the same, only the passive evaluation function got renamed. The manual push of external functions changed a lot, please see Example 11 - External function user data for an overview of the new interface.

Configuration options

Configuration options are renamed to have better indicate their meaning. In general, the Opt, Enable, Disable prefixes are dropped. See below a full list of the changes.
