Attribute Macros§

  • autodiffExperimental
    This macro handles automatic differentiation. Automatic Differentiation macro which allows generating a new function to compute the derivative of a given function. It may only be applied to a function. The expected usage syntax is #[autodiff(NAME, MODE, INPUT_ACTIVITIES, OUTPUT_ACTIVITY)] where: NAME is a string that represents a valid function name. MODE is any of Forward, Reverse, ForwardFirst, ReverseFirst. INPUT_ACTIVITIES consists of one valid activity for each input parameter. OUTPUT_ACTIVITY must not be set if we implicitely return nothing (or explicitely return -> ()). Otherwise it must be set to one of the allowed activities.
