Description
This PR adds the support for autodiff with ForwardDiff.jl. Indeed, it was just missing a custom method for the
_CType
function.Moreover, I believe that the previous name of the
_CType
function was not 100% clear, and also unusual for a name of a Julia function. So, here I have also change_CType
and_FType
to_complex_float_type
and_float_type
respectively.
