     41 // A matrix implementing the BlockRandomAccessMatrix interface is a
     42 // matrix whose rows and columns are divided into blocks. For example
     43 // the matrix A:
     44 //
     45 //            3     4      5
     46 //  A =  5 [c_11  c_12  c_13]
     47 //       4 [c_21  c_22  c_23]
     48 //
     49 // has row blocks of size 5 and 4, and column blocks of size 3, 4 and
     50 // 5. It has six cells corresponding to the six row-column block
     51 // combinations.
     52 //
     53 // BlockRandomAccessMatrix objects provide access to cells c_ij using
     54 // the GetCell method. when a cell is present, GetCell will return a
     55 // CellInfo object containing a pointer to an array which contains the
     56 // cell as a submatrix and a mutex that guards this submatrix. If the
     57 // user is accessing the matrix concurrently, it is his responsibility
     58 // to use the mutex to exclude other writers from writing to the cell
     59 // concurrently.
     60 //
     61 // There is no requirement that all cells be present, i.e. the matrix
     62 // itself can be block sparse. When a cell is not present, the GetCell
     63 // method will return a NULL pointer.
     64 //
     65 // There is no requirement about how the cells are stored beyond that
     66 // form a dense submatrix of a larger dense matrix. Like everywhere
     67 // else in Ceres, RowMajor storage assumed.
     68 //
     69 // Example usage:
     70 //
     71 //  BlockRandomAccessMatrix* A = new BlockRandomAccessMatrixSubClass(...)
     72 //
     73 //  int row, col, row_stride, col_stride;
