Detailed Description

template<typename T_Tape>
struct codi::ExternalFunction< T_Tape >

User-defined evaluation functions for the taping process.

See ExternalFunctionTapeInterface for details.

The user can provide call functions for the reverse, forward and primal evaluation of a tape. These need to be of the type CallFunction which has the tree arguments:

• tape: The type of the tape on which this object was registered with registerExternalFunction (ExternalFunctionTapeInterface)
• data: User-provided data, type is known by the user.
• adjointInterface: VectorAccessInterface instantiated with <typename Tape::Real, typename Tape::Identifier>

The tape pointer can be used for general access to the tape. For each access to the gradient data, the adjointInterface should be used. If no custom adjoint vectors are used in the application, then the tape pointer can also be used for the gradient data access.

The delete function is called when the entry of the tape for the external function is deleted.

Template Parameters

T_Tape

The associated tape type.
