deprecated). Basically there are now only 2 functions to set a
coefficient:
1) mat.coeffRef(row,col) = value;
2) mat.insert(row,col) = value;
coeffRef has no limitation, insert assumes the coeff has not already
been set, and raises an assert otherwise.
In addition I added a much lower level, but more efficient filling
mechanism for
internal use only.
Question 1: why are *=scalar and /=scalar working right away ?
Same weirdness in DynamicSparseMatrix where operators += and -= work wihout
having to redefine them ???
That means a lot of features which were available for sparse matrices
via the dense (and super slow) implemention are no longer available.
All features which make sense for sparse matrices (aka can be implemented efficiently) will be
implemented soon, but don't expect to see an API as rich as for the dense path.
Other changes:
* no block(), row(), col() anymore.
* instead use .innerVector() to get a col or row vector of a matrix.
* .segment(), start(), end() will be back soon, not sure for block()
* faster cwise product
* extend unit tests
* add support for generic sum reduction and dot product
* optimize the cwise()* : this is a special case of CwiseBinaryOp where
we only have to process the coeffs which are not null for *both* matrices.
Perhaps there exist some other binary operations like that ?
