Referring to #734
According to my understanding when a reference variable is initialized with pointer dereference, the
clad::gradient
function creates a new adjoint variable for the given reference variable whereas it should share the same adjoint variable as the pointer. To solve this issue we can replace the reference variable with the original pointer. This might be a potential solution. I couldn't verify this because my system gives an error when I try to build the program.
