A base helper class that facilitates the evaluation of the derivative(s) of a number of user-defined dependent variables \(\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{X})\) with respect to a set of independent variables \(\mathbf{X}\), that is \(\dfrac{d^{i} \mathbf{f}(\mathbf{X})}{d \mathbf{X}^{i}}\).
This class is templated on the floating point type scalar_type of the number that we'd like to differentiate, as well as an enumeration indicating the ADNumberTypeCode . The ADNumberTypeCode dictates which auto-differentiation library is to be used, and what the nature of the underlying auto-differentiable number is. Refer to the Automatic and symbolic differentiation topic for more details in this regard.
For all of the classes derived from this base class, there are two possible ways that the code in which they are used can be structured. The one approach is effectively a subset of the other, and which might be necessary to use depends on the nature of the chosen auto-differentiable number.
When "tapeless" numbers are employed, the most simple code structure would be of the following form:
Note that since the specialized classes interpret the independent variables in different ways, above represents only an outline of the steps taken to compute derivatives. More specific examples are outlined in the individual classes that specialize this base class.
When "taped" numbers are to be used, the above code should be wrapped by a few more lines of code to manage the taping procedure:
The second approach outlined here is more general than the first, and will work equally well for both taped and tapeless auto-differentiable numbers.

Pre-specify the number of independent_variables to be used in tapeless mode.
Although this function is called internally in the HelperBase constructor, there may be occasions when ADOL-C tapeless numbers (adtl::adoubles) are created before an instance of this class is created. This function therefore allows one to declare at the earliest possible instance how many directional derivatives will be considered in tapeless mode.
ensure_persistent_setting set to true when the ad_type is an ADOL-C tapeless number, calling this function leaves the set number of directional derivatives in a persistent state. It will therefore not be possible to further modify the number of directional derivatives to be tracked by adtl::adoubles's during course of the program's execution. Definition at line 447 of file ad_helpers.cc.

Reset the state of the helper class.
When an instance of an HelperBase is stored as a class member object with the intention to reuse its instance, it may be necessary to reset the state of the object before use. This is because, internally, there is error checking performed to ensure that the correct auto-differentiable data is being tracked and used only when appropriate. This function clears all member data and, therefore, allows the state of all internal flags to be safely reset to their initial state.
In the rare case that the number of independent or dependent variables has changed, this can also reconfigured by passing in the appropriate arguments to the function.
| [in] | n_independent_variables | The number of independent variables that will be used in the definition of the functions that it is desired to compute the sensitivities of. In the computation of \(\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{X})\), this will be the number of inputs \(\mathbf{X}\), i.e., the dimension of the domain space. |
| [in] | n_dependent_variables | The number of scalar functions to be defined that will have a sensitivity to the given independent variables. In the computation of \(\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{X})\), this will be the number of outputs \(\mathbf{f}\), i.e., the dimension of the image space. |
| [in] | clear_registered_tapes | A flag that indicates the that list of registered_tapes must be cleared. If set to true then the data structure that tracks which tapes have been recorded is cleared as well. It is then expected that any preexisting tapes be re-recorded. |

| const bool | overwrite_tape = false, | ||
| const bool | keep_independent_values = true ) |
Enable recording mode for a given tape. The use of this function is mandatory if the auto-differentiable number is a taped type. However, for the purpose of developing generic code, it can also be safely called for tapeless auto-differentiable numbers.
The operations that take place between this function call and that of stop_recording_operations() are recorded to the tape and can be replayed and reevaluated as necessary.
The typical set of operations to be performed during this "recording" phase (between the calls to start_recording_operations() and stop_recording_operations() ) are:
keep flag is set to true then these represent precisely the point about which the function derivatives are to be computed. If the keep flag is set to false then these only represent dummy values, and the point at which the function derivatives are to be computed must be set by calling set_independent_variables() again.| [in] | tape_index | The index of the tape to be written |
| [in] | overwrite_tape | Express whether tapes are allowed to be overwritten. If true then any existing tape with a given tape_index will be destroyed and a new tape traced over it. |
| [in] | keep_independent_values | Determines whether the numerical values of all independent variables are recorded in the tape buffer. If true, then the tape can be immediately used to perform computations after recording is complete. |

| void Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::stop_recording_operations | ( | const bool | write_tapes_to_file = false | ) |
Disable recording mode for a given tape. The use of this function is mandatory if the auto-differentiable number is a taped type. However, for the purpose of developing generic code, it can also be safely called for tapeless auto-differentiable numbers.

| bool Differentiation::AD::HelperBase< ADNumberTypeCode, ScalarType >::recorded_tape_requires_retaping | ( | const typename Types< ad_type >::tape_index | tape_index | ) | const |
Return a flag that, when true, indicates that the retaping of the dependent function is necessary for a reliable computation to be performed on a tape with the given tape_index. This may be necessary if a sign comparison within branched operations yields different results to those computed at the original tape evaluation point.
This issue, known as "branch switching", can be clarified by means of a trivial, contrived example:
During taping, the conditional statement may be either true or false, and the result (with its sensitivities) returned by this function. The AD library doesn't just record the parse tree of the operations applied on the branch chosen at the time to taping, but also checks that the condition continues to be satisfied. For some other evaluation of the tape (i.e. for some different inputs x and y), the other branch of the conditional check may be chosen. The result of following this code path has not been recorded on the tape, and therefore cannot be evaluated. In such a case, the underlying AD library will be able to tell you that it is necessary to re-record the tape at the new evaluation point in order to resolve the new code branch. This function can be used to find out whether this is so.
For the output of this function to be meaningful, it must be called after activate_recorded_tape() is called and the new evaluation point for the tape (i.e. values of the independent variables) have been set and subsequently used (i.e. in the determination of the values or derivatives of the dependent variables).
