  Description     : automatic differentiation for C/C++

Clad enables automatic differentiation (AD) for C++. It is based on LLVM
compiler infrastructure and is a plugin for Clang compiler. Clad is based on
source code transformation. Given C++ source code of a mathematical function,
it can automatically generate C++ code for computing derivatives of the
function. It supports both forward-mode and reverse-mode AD. Clad has extensive
coverage of modern C++ features and a robust fallback and recovery system in
place.

Will maintain in the science team. Feature for ROOT.
