20  * \ingroup Core_Module
21  *
22  * \brief A matrix or vector expression mapping an existing expressions
23  *
24  * \tparam PlainObjectType the equivalent matrix type of the mapped data
25  * \tparam Options specifies whether the pointer is \c #Aligned, or \c #Unaligned.
26  *                The default is \c #Unaligned.
27  * \tparam StrideType optionally specifies strides. By default, Ref implies a contiguous storage along the inner dimension (inner stride==1),
28  *                   but accept a variable outer stride (leading dimension).
29  *                   This can be overridden by specifying strides.
30  *                   The type passed here must be a specialization of the Stride template, see examples below.
31  *
32  * This class permits to write non template functions taking Eigen's object as parameters while limiting the number of copies.
33  * A Ref<> object can represent either a const expression or a l-value:
34  * \code
35  * // in-out argument:
36  * void foo1(Ref<VectorXf> x);
37  *
38  * // read-only const argument:
39  * void foo2(const Ref<const VectorXf>& x);
40  * \endcode
41  *
42  * In the in-out case, the input argument must satisfies the constraints of the actual Ref<> type, otherwise a compilation issue will be triggered.
43  * By default, a Ref<VectorXf> can reference any dense vector expression of float having a contiguous memory layout.
44  * Likewise, a Ref<MatrixXf> can reference any column major dense matrix expression of float whose column's elements are contiguously stored with
45  * the possibility to have a constant space inbetween each column, i.e.: the inner stride mmust be equal to 1, but the outer-stride (or leading dimension),
46  * can be greater than the number of rows.
47  *
48  * In the const case, if the input expression does not match the above requirement, then it is evaluated into a temporary before being passed to the function.
49  * Here are some examples:
50  * \code
51  * MatrixXf A;
52  * VectorXf a;
53  * foo1(a.head());             // OK
54  * foo1(A.col());              // OK
55  * foo1(A.row());              // compilation error because here innerstride!=1
56  * foo2(A.row());              // The row is copied into a contiguous temporary
57  * foo2(2*a);                  // The expression is evaluated into a temporary
58  * foo2(A.col().segment(2,4)); // No temporary
59  * \endcode
60  *
61  * The range of inputs that can be referenced without temporary can be enlarged using the last two template parameter.
62  * Here is an example accepting an innerstride!=1:
63  * \code
64  * // in-out argument:
65  * void foo3(Ref<VectorXf,0,InnerStride<> > x);
66  * foo3(A.row());              // OK
67  * \endcode
68  * The downside here is that the function foo3 might be significantly slower than foo1 because it won't be able to exploit vectorization, and will involved more
69  * expensive address computations even if the input is contiguously stored in memory. To overcome this issue, one might propose to overloads internally calling a
70  * template function, e.g.:
71  * \code
72  * // in the .h:
73  * void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf>& A);
74  * void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf,0,Stride<> >& A);
75  *
76  * // in the .cpp:
77  * template<typename TypeOfA> void foo_impl(const TypeOfA& A) {
78  *     ... // crazy code goes here
79  * }
80  * void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf>& A) { foo_impl(A); }
81  * void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf,0,Stride<> >& A) { foo_impl(A); }
82  * \endcode
83  *
84  *
85  * \sa PlainObjectBase::Map(), \ref TopicStorageOrders
