Re: [DynareDev] Temporary variables
by Houtan Bastani 02 Sep '15

Moving to the dev list.... In a conversation with Michel, we decided to rewrite the computation of temporary variables within the preprocessor. reference_count in ModelTree.cc:computeTemporaryTerms will be changed to a map<expr_t, pair<int,int>>, with the second int containing a 0,1,2,3 depending on whether the expression was first encountered in the equations, first, second, or third derivatives. Then when a temporary term is created, it will be inserted into the temporary_terms structure associated with the equations, first, second, or third derivatives. The union of these structures should be equivalent to the current temporary_terms structure and to avoid rewriting large swaths of the code, we can reconstitute temporary_terms from these parts. Stephane, I have made a bug fix but am first going to revert the change from yesterday and move to a branch and do the temporary term construction there.
