Basically the forests are wrongly "merged", and +produce weird clones. + +Right now I have finished refactoring most of the codes, but still +fail to perceive why the forests behave in that way. I even finished +a proto-type of my procedural macros which help me reduce +boiler-plates but are not necessary. + +Right now I think I need more refined control over the details of the +forests manipulations. To be more precise, I need to be able to +observe, step by step, how the chain-rule machine manipulated the +forests. This means in particular to be able to produce graphs of +half-way forests whenever I want. I have not yet figured out how to +do this exactly. + +The rough plan is to compress all steps of graphs into an "incremental +format" that stores not just forests information, but how they were +created, and allow the users to re-create the forests step by step. + +Simply put, this is just another feature that I would like to have for +the end-users, but postponed to later since that was not essential for +my developments. Now this seems to be quite important for me to +properly observe the forests, so it is perhaps time to implement this +feature first. |
