DE and Kim, Thank you for your responses. I've applied for a sandbox account, and once that is set up, I'll start working on a boostified version. I'll also work on constructing a Boost.Proto-based version, and then the two implementations can be compared. -Hal On Mon, 2010-04-26 at 20:13 +0200, Kim Kuen Tang wrote:

hi there i do like the idea of algorithmic differentiation very much and personally i would be very happy to have such a lib
As DE already stated it is a needed library in the real world programming. Contribution in this direction is welcome.
unfortunately i have no time to see your implementation or make any suggestions so this whole message is actually useless
but at least i can manifest my personal interest in such a library
and i think that implementing ET aside from proto is fine since it does not introduce additional dependencies (i.e. if i want to use a subset of boost collection) however more advanced boost developers might disagree with my point
Programming the AD is like designing a DSEL and this is what proto was designed for. There is a learning curve before using proto but since you are able to use Expression template this should not be a problem for you. The results using proto are also amazing. Take a look at spirit and the upcoming version of phoenix v3.
good luck. i will be happy to see your implementation.
so good luck as far as i have time i'll try to join you
