This commit modifies the only function in autodiff that takes a
templated number of outputs (i.e. residuals) and makes that
template parameter a normal parameter. With that change, it
is a trivial matter to support a dynamic number of residuals.
The API for dynamic residuals is to pass a fake number of
residuals as the second template argument to
AutoDiffCostFunction, and to pass the real number of
parameters as a second constructor argument.
1. Make the mechanism for writing problems to disk, generic and
controllable using an enum DumpType visible in the API.
2. Instead of single file containing protocol buffers, now matrices can
be written in a matlab/octave friendly format. This is now the default.
3. The support for writing problems to disk is moved into
linear_least_squares_problem.cc/h
4. SparseMatrix now has a ToTextFile virtual method which is
implemented by each of its subclasses to write a (i,j,s) triplets.
5. Minor changes to simple_bundle_adjuster to enable logging at startup.
- Rename BlockDiagonalPreconditioner to BlockJacobiPreconditioner
- Include the diagonal in the block jacobi preconditioner.
- Better flag help for eta.
- Enable test for CGNR
- Rename CONJUGATE_GRADIENTS to CGNR.
- etc.
