Clad - an Automatic Differentiation Tool

Clad is a plugin for the Clang compiler that enables automatic differentiation capabilities for C/C++ codebases. It is a valuable tool for developers seeking to streamline complex mathematical computations and optimize their codebase efficiently.

Clad facilitates the generation of derivatives, gradients, Hessians, and Jacobians (in forward and/or reverse mode), enhancing the efficiency and versatility of numerical computations.

Clad not only supports partial and higher-order derivatives but also integrates seamlessly with frameworks like ROOT, providing a comprehensive solution for automatic differentiation needs in C++ applications.

Xeus-CPP - a Jupyter Kernel for C++

Xeus-CPP is a product of OAC-1931408 in collaboration with the QuantStack company. It is a Jupyter kernel for C++ based on the native implementation of the Jupyter protocol xeus. It is supports the Wasm version of Jupyter (JupyterLite). It is a generalization of the Xeus-Clang-Repl (a Jupyter plugin supporting C++ development based on ClangRepl).

With Xeus-CPP, you can write and execute C++ code interactively, seeing the results immediately. This REPL nature allows you to iterate quickly without the overhead of compiling and running separate C++ programs.

Clang-REPL - an Interactive C++ Interpreter

Clang-Repl is an interactive C++ interpreter that allows for incremental compilation. It supports interactive programming for C++ in a read-evaluate-print-loop (REPL) style.

Clang-Repl is suitable for exploratory programming and in places where time to insight is important. Clang-Repl is a project inspired by the work in Cling, a LLVM-based C/C++ interpreter developed by the field of high energy physics and used by the scientific data analysis framework ROOT. Clang-Repl allows to move parts of Cling upstream, making them useful and available to a broader audience.

CppInterOp - a C++ Language Interoperability Layer

CppInterOp (previously LibInterOp) is a product of OAC-1931408 and exposes APIs from Clang and LLVM in a mostly backward compatibe way. The APIs support downstream tools that utilize interactive C++ by using the compiler as a service. That is, embed Clang and LLVM as a libraries in their codebases.

The APIs are designed to be minimalistic and aid non-trivial tasks such as language interoperability on the fly. In such scenarios CppInterOp can be used to provide the necessary introspection information to the other side helping the language cross talk. The package makes it easy to deploy as it ships Clang as a service without any dependencies.

Cling - an Interactive C++ Interpreter

Cling is an interactive C++ interpreter that operates on top of the Clang and LLVM libraries, utilizing LLVM’s Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler for fast and optimized compilation processes.

By adopting a read-eval-print-loop (REPL) approach, Cling is helping C++ development evolve by enabling rapid application development without the need for the traditional edit-compile-run-debug cycle, thus facilitating quick prototyping and exploration in C++.

By providing support for advanced C++ features like templates, lambdas, and virtual inheritance, Cling empowers developers in exploratory programming with interactive, dynamic language interoperability and rapid prototyping.
