The reason for the problem arising last time was probably something different, there was some cache which was preventing installation of a package and causing some error.

I tried again with the following changes as suggested by you and it worked. Thanks a lot !

Hello @mmuetzel, thank you for all your comments.

As the rebase caused quite some changes, as changes to the coding style were made to the `__ode15__.cc` file which conflicted with my own changes, it took me some time and a lot of commits to figure that out. Since the current changes were spread over multiple commits, and seeing your comments you too had some difficulty understanding how they were structured, I have fixed all the whitespace and unwanted changes and squashed all my commits into one with a clean code diff for you to review, situated at
https://github.com/sarrah-basta/octave/tree/new-gsoc-final-aptch .

This contains all changes except the following:

comment #26:

I tried testing this, and while it kind of works, meaning the code for the implementation I have written, containing Octave Wrappers for IDA, works correctly, i.e the oct-sundials.* files are being compiled and used correctly, it runs into an error related to SUNContext (defined as a configure flag) in the KLU part (which was supprted prior to my project). I will try figuring out the exact problem and fix the script so that the files are not hardcoded soon.

It is completely untested. So, try to build with it before using it.

There might still be an issue with the new file missing from the distribution tarball. But I hope, it'd do the same that your hardcoded exception currently does.

Tue 07 Mar 2023 12:27:02 PM UTC, comment #24: 

Keeping the implementation in two separate files is probably ok.
In that case, it is probably also ok to have a separate header in which the new functions are declared.

But instead of special casing in `config-module.awk`, could you try the following change?

That might still need some tinkering in `config-module.awk`. But it would be a more general solution if we'd get that to work.

I added a couple of comments on GitHub.

Something seems to have gone wrong when merging the whitespace changes in `__ode15__.cc`. It's difficult to review the changes in that file in it's current state.
The code between `OCTAVE_NAMESPACE_*` blocks is no longer indented. Could you please adapt for that style change?

Hello @mmuetzel and @cdf, thank you for waiting. I have made all the suggested style changes and rebased the current code on the current head of the default branch, and fixed the slight errors caused due to the same (I suppose the macro for declaring the Octave namespace has changed).

The now working and able to merge with gnu-octave/octave:default branch is now located at https://github.com/sarrah-basta/octave/tree/gsoc-submission-final .

I could squash the recent commits into 1 final if necessary to make it easier to review.

@mmuetzel, this is the only suggested change I have not yet implemented. I suppose the current structure once again mimics so -called "implementations" in the SUNDIALS API and I had hence placed them in seperate files to be pre-compiled. From Octave's perspective though, I believe the functions in the header files are just helper functions to the `__ode15__` function, and hence could be placed in the `__ode15__.cc` file itself, as the SUNDIALS API is calling them via pointers instead of function declarations. I will still test this once on a seperate branch and link the commit here once it works

I think when something similar had come up during talking to Carlo as well, and some of the functions have their names based on SUNDIALS native types. And iirc, the consensus then was we shouldn't have something called a SUNSparseMatrix() as a function in Octave. While some of them don't have this and can be called by their exact name as you said example octave::N_VScaleAddMulti ...

IIUC, you could use the exact same names as the one in SUNDIALS if you were to move those functions to the octave namespace. The one from SUNDIALS could be called as `::example_function`. And the one from Octave could be called as `octave::example_function`. Those would be different identifiers.

Since this project was mostly dormant since then, there have been no commits. I am testing the changes today on my local system itself and haven't pushed to remote yet.

The current branch was https://github.com/sarrah-basta/octave/tree/gsoc-submission-final itself as pointed out by Carlo

The current conventions were just based on how existing implementations in SUNDIALS using other libraries differentiated their wrappers from the default implemented functions, such as this implementation of a vector using OpenMP https://sundials.readthedocs.io/en/v6.2.0/nvectors/NVector_links.html#the-nvector-openmp-module . And for generic type names in SUNDIALS, Carlo and I had just decided to replace the `SUN` with `OCT`. Hence the confusion ...

If we were also to change the Naming Style from CamelCase,I believe they could be moved to `namespace octave` as our names wouldnt clash with the defualt implementations of those functions in Sundials as well.

Well, if we ever wanted to build with MSVC on Windows, we'd need to define our own `OCT_SUNDIALS_API` macro with those `dllimport` and `dllexport` attributes. But I don't know of anyone is trying to do that. And we don't need to do that for Linux or MinGW (if we don't mind that all symbols are exported - as we currently do for all .oct libraries).

> Afaict, SUNDIALS_EXPORT is defined like this in the headers:

 
Thank you for looking into that. As I was working on a Linux OS, to me it is defined as follows in the headers :


#ifdef SUNDIALS_STATIC_DEFINE
#  define SUNDIALS_EXPORT
#  define SUNDIALS_NO_EXPORT
#else
#  ifndef SUNDIALS_EXPORT
#    ifdef sundials_generic_EXPORTS
        /* We are building this library */
#      define SUNDIALS_EXPORT __attribute__((visibility("default")))
#    else
        /* We are using this library */
#      define SUNDIALS_EXPORT __attribute__((visibility("default")))
#    endif
#  endif

#  ifndef SUNDIALS_NO_EXPORT
#    define SUNDIALS_NO_EXPORT __attribute__((visibility("hidden")))
#  endif
#endif


This too dealt with permissions to expose code outside of a shared library.

As the current code is being written and used within Octave itself, and the functions are used in pointers, I think you are correct in saying the EXPORT macro should not be used. I have removed it and changes should reflect in the next commit.

This is actually a good point I had forgotten. It does actually only calls those functions via a pointer to a struct in one of their generic types, and hence from within octave, and I now tested that it is no longer necessary to compile the code with C linkage. Thank you for pointing it out.

In this case, should I then consider moving those functions to the octave namespace, and changing their naming style, to be completely compatible with octave itself?

Good question ...

It was definitely necessary during development because @sarrah initially tried using the Octave SparseMatrix class in an independent ida based application written in C.

From within Octave this may not be necessary anymore if ida only
accesses functions in the context via pointers ...

It's in the config file that is generated by CMake and installed
as include/sundials/sundials_config.h IIUC it is only needed on windows.

Yes, that would be great

Could you please point out where it is defined in the sources of SUNDIALS?

Is that necessary?

Yes, thank you @mmuetzel and @cdf for your comments and looking into this.


For @mmuuetzel 's comments :
comment #2:

> * I can't see where SUNDIALS_EXPORT is defined. What is it supposed to do?


As @cdf was kind to point out, SUNDIALS_EXPORT is a macro in the C API of SUNDIALS and not defined by me. It is used to expose the replacement functions created by me (which replace what would ideally be SUNDIALS functions) to the rest of the SUNDIALS API.

Regarding the above two points, as @cdf pointed out, most of these are with regards to using the SUNDIALS C API explained above, as those functions that are written in C++, still have to be called by the  C API, and are hence exposed by `#extern C`. Hence I too do not think using such C++ functionality will be possible.

With regards to these points, this patch is a slightly older version, and I did make some changes to the code after this especially to accommodate the Coding Style. These are stored on the git repository mentioned by @cdf and the changes are much clearly discussed by me at : https://octave.discourse.group/t/advice-for-final-patch-submission-from-github-mirror/3232/3?u=sarrah-basta

If you could have a look at these it would be great. I will myself try ensuring that I have followed all the style guide comments you posted about and try rebasing my code on a current head on the default branch of the git mirror and reply soon.

Maybe I'm missing the point. But those functions are implemented in C++. C++ can call C functions. And iiuc function pointer to C++ functions can be passed to C functions. Why would interfacing to C prevent this code from using namespaces?

> the first things to do would be to merge default into that branch


Or alternatively (and maybe preferably), rebase on a current head of the default branch.

@mmuetzel thanks for looking into this.

 - I don't have time right now to respond to all your comments, I hope maybe @sarrah can?

 - from quickly reading your comments I guess you are not considering that @sarrah was using the C API of SUNDIALS so I'm not sure that using some C++ feature (such as e.g. namespaces)
is feasible ...

 - Also some naming conventions are consistent with the SUNDIALS
coding style rather than Octave's


 - The GIT repo used by @sarrah for her project is still available here : https://github.com/sarrah-basta/octave
I think this is the branch used for the final submission : https://github.com/sarrah-basta/octave/tree/gsoc-submission-final maybe one of the first things to do would be to merge default into that branch and see wether it still works?

I haven't tested the patch. Just some initial remarks:

  • I can't see where SUNDIALS_EXPORT is defined. What is it supposed to do?
  • CamelCase in function names is discouraged in Octave's sources. Use all lower case with underscores as separators (unless there is a good reason to deviate from that convention here).
  • Many functions have names that contain "OCT" or "_Octave". Would it make sense to move them to the `octave` namespace instead?
  • Remove the include guard `__CONFIG_H_INCLUDE_GUARD` from `__ode15__.cc`. `.cc` files aren't supposed to be included in other files normally. Is this different for this file?
  • Revert the white space changes in your patch for the pre-processor macros. The hash `#` is supposed to be in column 1. Spaces for indentation follow after the `#`. Use two spaces for indentation.
  • Avoid using old-style cast in NV_CONTENT_C. Use `reinterpret_cast` instead. Or does that not work for some reason here?
  • Use a space between function name and following opening parenthesis.

Hi,
The attached patch implements the added features of making the KLU dependency optional for ode15{i,s} DAE solvers into Octave core.

This is the result of my (Sarrah Bastawala 's) GSOC 2022 project mentored by Carlo de Falco that has been kept up to date in a separate github repository until now.

The repository is here:
https://github.com/sarrah-basta/octave.git

The changelog message to best describe the code is as follows :


add support for sparse computations in ode15{i,s} using Octave classes, making the dependency on SUNDIALS interface to KLU optional ( GSoC '22)

* libinterp/dldfcn/oct-sundials.h : add declarations of custom implementations to SUNDIALS NVECTOR, SUNMATRIX and SUNLINEARSOLVER APIs using Octave's classes.
* libinterp/dldfcn/oct-sundials.cc: add definitions of exported functions declared in corresponding header file
* libinterp/dldfcn/__ode15__.cc : add motifications and optimizations to make ode15{i,s} solvers default to using Octave's custom implementations and solver in IDA for sparse computations if KLU is not found.binterp
* libinterp/dldfcn/config-module.awk : add build dependencies for __ode15__ oct-file.
* configure.ac : modify warnings to let user know ode15{i,s} support sparse computations even if KLU is not found.
* scripts/ode/ode15i.m : modify tests using sparse Jacobians to run even without KLU
* scripts/ode/ode15s.m : modify tests using sparse Jacobians to run even without KLU
