Purpose
The CppAD include files defines preprocessor symbols all of which begin with CPPAD_. Note that there are some old, deprecated preprocessor symbols that begin with CppAD. In this section we list all of the CppAD preprocessor symbols that are part of the CppAD Application Interface (API).

CPPAD_DEBUG_AND_RELEASE
This flag is an exception because it is defined (or not) by the user when compiling programs that include CppAD source code. If it is defined, less error checking is done and the debug and release versions of CppAD can be mixed in the same program. Of particular note is that thread_alloc does less error checking. For programs that do a lot of memory allocation, this can be a significant time savings when NDEBUG is defined.

CPPAD_NULL
Is a null pointer used by CppAD, instead of just using the value zero which was often done in C++98, which has been replaced by the value nullptr in C++11.

CPPAD_PACKAGE_STRING
Is a const char* representation of this version of CppAD.

CPPAD_USE_CPLUSPLUS_2011
This preprocessor symbol has the value has the value 1 if C++11 features are being used by CppAD. Otherwise it has the value zero.
