NAG AD Library
x10bj_a1w_f (callback_​write_​type_a1w)

Note: a1w denotes that first order adjoints are computed in working precision; this has the corresponding argument type nagad_a1w_w_rtype. Further implementations, for example for higher order differentiation or using the tangent linear approach, may become available at later marks of the NAG AD Library. The method of codifying AD implementations in the routine name and corresponding argument types is described in the NAG AD Library Introduction.

1 Purpose

x10bj_a1w_f writes an object of the type nagad_a1w_w_rtype into a callback data object created by x10ba_a1w_f.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine x10bj_a1w_f ( cb_handle, xa, ifail)
Integer, Intent (Inout) :: ifail
Type (c_ptr), Intent (Inout) :: cb_handle
Type (nagad_a1w_w_rtype), Intent (In) :: xa
C++ Header Interface
#include <nagad.h>
extern "C" {
void  x10bj_a1w_f_ (void *&cb_handle, const nagad_a1w_w_rtype &xa, Integer &ifail)
}
The routine may be called by the names x10bj_a1w_f or nagf_adutils_callback_write_type_a1w.

3 Description

For routines where it is necessary to perform callback operations via one or more companion callbacks, data must be passed between the procedure argument and any such companion callback via a callback data object as created by x10ba_a1w_f. x10bj_a1w_f can be used to insert an object of the type nagad_a1w_w_rtype into the callback data object. In this way an object of the type nagad_a1w_w_rtype can be communicated between a procedure argument and its companion callbacks.
Note that data must be written to and read from the callback data object in strict order without omission.

5 Arguments

1: cb_handle Type (c_ptr) Input/Output
On entry: will contain a handle to the callback data object.
On exit: will contain a handle to the updated callback data object.
2: xa Type (nagad_a1w_w_rtype) Input
On entry: an object of the type nagad_a1w_w_rtype, xa, to be inserted into the callback data object.
3: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of -1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
On entry, cb_handle does not define a valid handle to a NAG AD callback data object. It has not been initialized or has been corrupted.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
