     31 // Utility routines for validating arrays.
     32 //
     33 // These are useful for detecting two common class of errors.
     34 //
     35 // 1. Uninitialized memory - where the user for some reason did not
     36 // compute part of an array, but the code expects it.
     37 //
     38 // 2. Numerical failure while computing the cost/residual/jacobian,
     39 // e.g. NaN, infinities etc. This is particularly useful since the
     40 // automatic differentiation code does computations that are not
     41 // evident to the user and can silently generate hard to debug errors.
