TMB.Version

<p>The R interface to <code>TMB</code> roughly consists of two components: (1) The 'API' i.e. R functions documented in this manual and (2) C-level entry points, here referred to as the 'ABI', which controls the C++ code. The latter can be shown by <code>getDLLRegisteredRoutines(DLL)</code> where <code>DLL</code> is the shared library generated by the compile function (or by a package linking to <code>TMB</code>).
A DLL compiled with one version of <code>TMB</code> can be used with another version of <code>TMB</code> provided that the 'ABI' is the same. We therefore define the 'ABI version' as the oldest ABI compatible version. This number can then be used to tell if re-compilation of a DLL is necessary after updating <code>TMB</code>.</p>

With this tool, a user should be able to quickly implement
complex random effect models through simple C++ templates. The package combines
'CppAD' (C++ automatic differentiation), 'Eigen' (templated matrix-vector
library) and 'CHOLMOD' (sparse matrix routines available from R) to obtain
an efficient implementation of the applied Laplace approximation with exact
derivatives. Key features are: Automatic sparseness detection, parallelism
through 'BLAS' and parallel user templates.
