Attempting to fix issues pointed out by Vadim Pisarevsky during the pull
request review. In particular, the following things are done:
*) The mechanism of debug info printing is changed and made more
procedure-style than the previous macro-style
*) z in solveLP() is now returned as a column-vector
*) Func parameter of solveLP() is now allowed to be column-vector, in
which case it is understood to be the transpose of what we need
*) Func and Constr now can contain floats, not only doubles (in the
former case the conversion is done via convertTo())
*)different constructor to allocate space for z in solveLP() is used,
making the size of z more explicit (this is just a notation change, not
functional, both constructors are achieving the same goal)
*) (big) mat.hpp and iostream headers are moved to precomp-headers from
optim.hpp
In particular, the following things are done:
*) Consistent tabulation of 4 spaces is ensured
*) New function dprintf() is introduced, so now printing of the debug
information can be turned on/off via the ALEX_DEBUG macro
*) Removed solveLP_aux namespace
*) All auxiliary functions are declared as static
*) The return codes of solveLP() are encapsulated in enum.
At this point we have a skeleton of a new module (optim) which can
barely compile properly (unlike previous commit). Besides, there is a
first draft of solver and lpsolver (linear optimization solver) in this
commit.
Generic optimization package for openCV project, will be developed
between the June and September of 2013. This work is funded by Google
Summer of Code 2013 project. This project is about
implementing several algorithms, that will find global maxima/minima of a
given function on a given domain subject to a given constraints.
