As I already answered to Steven, these matrices are not just "data" because their elements change at each iteration of an optimization process. So i need "code" to update the matrices.

Yes, this seems like a severe abuse of the compiler. It makes much more sense for this to be input as data rather than code.

    It doesn't make sense to me to use code generation to spit out a
    literal expression for inputting a large sparse matrix on each
    iteration of optimization. In no conceivable compiler will this be
    faster than just using a loop to generate the sparse matrix data
    structure, rather than using a loop to generate the code to
    generate the sparse matrix and then compiling the generated code.
    It should be O(n) work in either case, but the constant factor
    will inevitably be worse for a compiler.
