For anyone good at scala DSLs, the following is the puzzle i can't seem to
figure at the moment.
I mentioned before that I implemented assignment notations to a row or a
block, e.g. for a row vector : A(5,::) := (1,2,3)
what it really translates into in this particular case is
A.viewRow(5).assign(new Vector(new double[]{1,2,3}))
One thing i can't quite figure for in-core matrix DSL is how to translate
element assignments such as
A(5,5) := 2.0
into A.setQuick(5,5,2.0)
while still having
val k = A(5,5)
translating into
val k = A.getQuick(5,5).
it could be implemented with a "elementView" analogue but would require the
element view object creation -- which is, first, a big no-no (too
expensive) for a simple solitary element assignment (or read-out)
operation, and secondly, reading the element such as A(5,5) * 2.0 would
also involve view element object creation with implicit conversion to
Double whereas it is not even needed at all in this case.
at this point i have only a very obvious apply(Double,Double):Double =
m.getQuick(...), i.e. only element reads are supported with that syntax.
I am guessing Jake, if anyone, might have an idea here... thanks.
