A new release 0.0.4 of the RcppFastAD package by James Yang and myself is now on CRAN.
RcppFastAD wraps the FastAD header-only C++ library by James which provides a C++ implementation of both forward and reverse mode of automatic differentiation. It offers an easy-to-use header library (which we wrapped here) that is both lightweight and performant. With a little of bit of Rcpp glue, it is also easy to use from R in simple C++ applications. This release updates the quick fix in release 0.0.3 from a good week ago. James took a good look and properly disambiguated the statement that lead clang to complain, so we are back to compiling as C++17 under all compilers which makes for a slightly wider reach.
The NEWS file for this release follows.
Changes in version 0.0.4 (2024-09-24)
- The package now properly addresses a clang warning on empty variadic macros arguments and is back to C++17 (James in #10)
Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the most recent release. More information is available at the repository or the package page.
