When computing the derivatives or block decomposition of the planner objective,
the epilogue or the original Ramsey model, the preprocessor would talk about
dynamic/static model, which was confusing. It now uses the right terminology.
If block decomposition fails, error out if “block” option was passed, but not
otherwise.
This commit does not modify the generated files.
This is a preliminary step for dynare#1859.
Compute temporary terms for derivatives of “evaluate” mode, even though those
derivatives are not computed. This is because the temporary terms may be useful
for subsequent blocks.
By the way, add an explanatory comment for the equivalent code in dynamic file.
– factorize common code between the static and the dynamic version
– reorganise language-specific code into dedicated functions
– use a function template in the main helper to do some computations
at compile-time (using constexpr features)
And, symmetrically, when the “bytecode” option is requested by the user, always
create the .m static/dynamic files.
The “bytecode” option therefore no longer modifies the preprocessor output.
We follow the advice given by Josuttis in his book about move semantics.
Deleting those member fuctions can be a bug if we want to allow copy semantics,
because overload resolution will no longer fallback to the copy
constructor/assignment operator when given an rvalue.
In particular, this explain why it was not possible to delete the move
assignment operator of the StaticModel class.
When an endogenous is declared with “var(log)”, say “y”:
– creates an auxiliary named “LOG_y”
– replaces “y(±l)” everywhere by “exp(LOG_y(±l))”
– adds a new auxiliary equation “y=exp(LOG_y)”
– adds a new definition “LOG_y=log(y)” in set_auxiliary_variables.m and
dynamic_set_auxiliary_series.m files
This option also works in conjunction with “deflator=…”, such as “var(log,
deflator=…)” (the “log” must appear befor “deflator”). There are no provisions
for combining “log” with “log_deflator”, because that would not make much sense
from an economic point of view (amounts to taking the log two times).

There is no reason to keep this distinction.
Additionally, since the data structure is now symmetric with the MCE case,
unify this “h” parameter vector with the “α” parameter vector.
By the way, refactor the MCE case by merging two routines related to the Z₁ aux. var.
This restores the symmetry with the backward case, now that the latter also has
an aux. var. for the pac_expectation operator. Also store the aux. var. IDs in a
structure common to the backward and MCE cases.
Incidentally, the auxiliary endogenous variable representing Z₁ and created for
PAC MCE models no longer necessarily appear as the first auxiliary variable (so
this is effectively a revert of 64f55e4a5e).
As the name implies, this option allows contemporaneous variables on the RHS.
The A0 matrix for contemporaneous variables is added as a second (optional)
output to the generated var_ar.m file. Note that for reduced-form VAR, this
matrix will be the identity.
Also, the user is now allowed to write the VAR models in a more flexible form:
the LHS must still be a single variable, but the RHS can be an arbitrary
expression (as long as it is linear, obviously). Internally, the preprocessor
now uses derivation to compute the coefficients of the AR and A0. This change
applies to both reduced-form and structural VAR models.

For the time being, the preprocessor will refuse that this option be used with
any command other than estimation.
By the way, remove occbin_likelihood and occbin_smoother options to estimation.
