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)

.. _arr_templ_par_opt:
OptionFlags
----------------------------
* OptionFlags is a series of flags determining various options at compile time.
The possible flags are accessible via a constexpr ull_t in triqs::arrays or a macro:
======================== =======================================
Macro constexpr equivalent
======================== =======================================
BOUND_CHECK triqs::arrays::BoundCheck
TRAVERSAL_ORDER_C triqs::arrays::TraversalOrderC
TRAVERSAL_ORDER_FORTRAN triqs::arrays::TraversalOrderFortran
DEFAULT_INIT triqs::arrays::DefaultInit
======================== =======================================
Defaults can be modified with the macros:
* `TRIQS_ARRAYS_ENFORCE_BOUNDCHECK` : enforce BoundCheck by default (slows down codes ! Use only for debugging purposes).
.. _arr_templ_par_to:
TraversalOrder
----------------------------
* TraversalOrder is a coding of the optimal ordering of indices, given by a permutation
evaluated at **compile time**.
The traversal of the arrays (iterators, foreach loop) will be written and optimised for this
order.
The default (0) is understood as regular C-style ordering (slowest index first).
Note that an array can use any index ordering in memory, and that decision is take at run time
(this is necessary for interfacing with python numpy arrays, see below).
The code will be correct for any order, but optimised for the TraversalOrder.
For a few very specials operations (e.g. regrouping of indices), the indices ordering in memory and TraversalOrder
must coincide. This will be explicitely said below. By default, it is not necessary (but can be suboptimal).
The permutation P encodes the position of the index: P[0] is the fastest index, P[rank - 1] the slowest index
(see examples below).
TraversalOrder is not present for vector since there is only one possibility in 1d.
