// The ProgramEvaluator runs the cost functions contained in each residual block
// and stores the result into a jacobian. The particular type of jacobian is
// abstracted out using two template parameters:
//
//   - An "EvaluatePreparer" that is responsible for creating the array with
//     pointers to the jacobian blocks where the cost function evaluates to.
//   - A "JacobianWriter" that is responsible for storing the resulting
//     jacobian blocks in the passed sparse matrix.
//
// This abstraction affords an efficient evaluator implementation while still
// supporting writing to multiple sparse matrix formats. For example, when the
// ProgramEvaluator is parameterized for writing to block sparse matrices, the
// residual jacobians are written directly into their final position in the
// block sparse matrix by the user's CostFunction; there is no copying.
//
// The evaluation is threaded with OpenMP.
//
// The EvaluatePreparer and JacobianWriter interfaces are as follows:
//
//   class EvaluatePreparer {
//     // Prepare the jacobians array for use as the destination of a call to
//     // a cost function's evaluate method.
//     void Prepare(const ResidualBlock* residual_block,
//                  int residual_block_index,
//                  SparseMatrix* jacobian,
//                  double** jacobians);
//   }
//
//   class JacobianWriter {
//     // Create a jacobian that this writer can write. Same as
//     // Evaluator::CreateJacobian.
//     SparseMatrix* CreateJacobian() const;
//
//     // Create num_threads evaluate preparers. Caller owns result which must
//     // be freed with delete[]. Resulting preparers are valid while *this is.
//     EvaluatePreparer* CreateEvaluatePreparers(int num_threads);
//
//     // Write the block jacobians from a residual block evaluation to the
//     // larger sparse jacobian.
//     void Write(int residual_id,
//                int residual_offset,
//                double** jacobians,
//                SparseMatrix* jacobian);
//   }
//
// Note: The ProgramEvaluator is not thread safe, since internally it maintains
// some per-thread scratch space.
