Changes and Additions to CppAD During 2024
##########################################

mm-dd
*****

01-16
*****
fix dll linking of jit code by changing *cppad_c_compiler_path* to
*cppad_c_compiler_cmd* (spaces in the path were making commands fail).

01-12
*****
#. There were some problems using the cmake C compiler for the
   examples and tests of jit compilation, so that has been backed out for now.
#. There was a mistake in detecting if size_t is the same as
   :ref:`cmake@cppad_tape_addr_type`. This could cause a compile error
   in `op_hash_table.hpp` and has been fixed.

01-11
=====
Use the *cppad_c_compiler_path* detected by :ref:`cmake-name` 
to run the C compiler for the Clang and GNU cases; see
the `create_dll_lib`` defaults for
:ref:`create_dll_lib@options@compile` and 
:ref:`create_dll_lib@options@link` .

01-10
=====
#. Fix some problems with the install on 32 bit systems.
   To be specific, the :ref:`thread_alloc-name` memory allocator
   was not properly aligning doubles.
#. Suppress the test of the ``svec_setvec`` class.
   (The class has a bug and is not currently being used.)

01-08
=====
On some systems ``unsigned int`` and ``size_t`` are the same type
and this would cause a compile error in ``vector.hpp`` and
``vector_bool.hpp`` . This has been fixed.

01-07
=====
The forward_two :ref:`forward_two@Syntax` was corrected.
To be specific, 
``Forward`` (1, *x2* ) was changed to ``Forward`` (2, *x2* ) .
In addition, some other minor improvements were made to the
forward_two documentation page.

01-03
=====

#. The change on :ref:`whats_new_23@mm-dd@12-24` 2023,
   when :ref:`cmake@cppad_debug_and_release` was implemented,
   was not done properly and might cause a mistaken assertion.
   This has been fixed.

#. Each *file_name* in the latest documentation was moved
   (this is important if you have links to previous web pages):

   .. list-table::

      *  - Old Location
         - ``https://cppad.readthedocs.io/``\ *file_name*
      *  - New Location
         - ``https://cppad.readthedocs.io/latest/``\ *file_name*

01-02
=====

#. The :ref:`compare_change.cpp-name` example/test would sometimes fail
   when :ref:`cmake@cppad_debug_which` was ``debug_even`` or
   ``debug_odd`` (because it was compiled for debugging and including
   a release version of a utility). This has been fixed by making this
   example/test a separate program.

#. The :ref:`CppAD_vector@vectorBool` constructor would generate a
   warning when called with an ``int`` for the size of the vector
   (on some compilers). This has been fixed.
