Description Christian Kotz 2009-09-19 18:14:03 UTC

Armadillo is a C++ linear algebra library (matrix maths) aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use. Integer, floating point and complex numbers are supported, as well as a subset of trigonometric and statistics functions. Various matrix decompositions are provided through optional integration with LAPACK and ATLAS libraries.

A delayed evaluation approach is employed (during compile time) to combine several operations into one and reduce (or eliminate) the need for temporaries. This is accomplished through recursive templates and template meta-programming.

This library is useful if C++ has been decided as the language of choice (due to speed and/or integration capabilities), rather than another language like Matlab ® or Octave. It is distributed under a license that is useful in both open-source and commercial contexts.

Thank you for contributing. Please see bug 287583. A fix is required before we can proceed with this ebuild.

Side note:
Renaming the ebuild to armadillo-0.9.52.ebuild works for me.
