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)

.. highlight:: c
.. _clef_auto_assign:
Automatic assignment of containers
===================================
Another use of expression is the automatic assignment of containers.
**Synopsis**:
If C is a container, ::
C(x_) << some_expression_of_x_
C[i_] << some_expression_of_i_
C(x_)(i_,j_) << some_expression_of_x_i_j
C[x_](i_,j_) << some_expression_of_x_i_j
depending of course of the operator that the container support.
The Right Hand Side (RHS) of the << statement can be any expression,
while Left Hand Side (LHS) of the << sign is a container supporting the operation (see below).
This statement simply will be rewritten by the CLEF library as ::
triqs_clef_auto_assign (C, x_ -> some_expression_of_x_); // pseudo code
triqs_clef_auto_assign (C, [](auto x_) {return some_expression_of_x_;}); // or in C++ lambda syntax
The function `triqs_clef_auto_assign` has to be overloaded for the container and the correct
functional form, and it is expected to fill C by evaluating this function.
Such a function is provided for TRIQS objects (arrays, matrix, Green function),
and also for some STL container like std::vector.
Example :
.. triqs_example:: ./assign_0.cpp
**Details**
The synopsis of the `triqs_clef_auto_assign` functions is ::
template<typename Fnt> void triqs_clef_auto_assign (Obj & x, Fnt f);
The compiler will then rewrite ::
obj(x_,y_, ...) = expression
into ::
triqs_clef_auto_assign (obj, make_function( expression, x_, y_, ....))
The function must be found by ADL. It is therefore useful to implement it e.g. as a friend function.
Similarly, for [ ], adding a function ::
template<typename Fnt> void triqs_clef_auto_assign_subscript (Obj & x, Fnt f);
The compiler will rewrite ::
obj[i_] = expression
into ::
triqs_clef_auto_assign_subscript (obj, make_function( expression, i_))
A complete example:
.. triqs_example:: ./assign_1.cpp
