tayral edd1ff4529 Restructuring documentation.
A first general restructuration of the doc according to the pattern [tour|tutorial|reference].
In the reference part, objects are documented per topic.
In each topic, [definition|c++|python|hdf5] (not yet implemented)

Constructors
====================
Constructors of array
---------------------------
* The value classes array, matrix and vector have very similar constructors.
We will therefore describe only for the array, and mention the difference for matrix and vector below.
* array, matrix, vector are regular types (with value semantics).
Hence, all these constructors make a **copy** of the data, except of course the move constructor.
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Constructors of array | Comments |
+=================================+==========================================================================================+
| array() | Empty array of size 0 |
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| array(size_t, ...., size_t) | From the lengths of the array dimensions, with Rank arguments (checked at compile time). |
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| array(const array &) | Copy construction |
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| array(array &&) | Move construction |
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| array(const T & X) | Type T models the :ref:`ImmutableCuboidArray` concept. |
| | - X must have the appropriate domain (checked at compile time). |
| | - Constructs a new array of domain X.domain() and fills it with evaluation of X. |
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| array(shape_t const &) | New array with the corresponding shape (as returned by the function shape. See example |
| | in section XXX). |
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| array(std::initializer_list<T>) | Initialization from a initializer_list of T. Enable for rank==1 only |
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| explicit array(PyObject * X) | Construct a new array from the Python object X. |
| | - it takes a **copy** of the data of X (or of numpy(X)) into C++. |
| | - X is first transformed into a numpy by the python numpy lib itself |
| | (as if you call numpy.array(X)) if X is not a numpy array or an array of the wrong type |
| | (e.g. you construct an array<double,2> from a numpy of int....), and |
| | copied into the array. |
| | .. note:: X is a borrowed reference, array does not affect its counting reference. |
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
.. warning::
The constructor from the dimensions does **NOT** initialize the array to 0
(because it may not be optimal).
If needed, do it explicitely by (a if the array) `a()=0`
Constructors of matrix
---------------------------
* matrix have similar constructors
========================================== =======================================================================================================
Constructors of matrix Comments
========================================== =======================================================================================================
matrix() empty matrix of size 0
matrix(size_t, size_t) from the dimensions. Does NOT initialize the elements of matrix to 0 !
matrix(const matrix &) copy construction
matrix(matrix &&) move construction
matrix (PyObject * X) Construct a new matrix from the Python object X.
matrix(const T & X) Type T models the :ref:`ImmutableMatrix` or :ref:`ImmutableCuboidArray` (with rank 2). Same as array.
========================================== =======================================================================================================
Constructors of vector
---------------------------
========================================== =======================================================================================================
Constructors of vector Comments
========================================== =======================================================================================================
vector() empty vector of size 0
vector(size_t) from the dimensions. Does NOT initialize the elements of vector to 0 !
vector(const vector &) copy construction
vector(vector &&) move construction
vector (PyObject * X) Construct a new vector from the Python object X.
vector(const T & X) Type T models the :ref:`ImmutableVector` or :ref:`ImmutableCuboidArray` (with rank 1). Same as array.
