I understand the declarative differences between cc_multi vs det.

However I am not sure what effect these declarative differences have on
the generated code.  Could someone give me an example of when the
distinction between cc_multi and det is important when the code is
generated (ie where having det instead of cc_multi leads to incorrect
code).

Thanks,
Pete
