Some of these functions do a lot of checks, could there be a performance impact on fast calls? |
|
There are some O(N^2) infinite/NaN checks that may be relegated to post-call error reporting. I suspect this will help with performance. I am planning a separate PR for better post-call error messages. The checks in this PR are O(1), so they shouldn't impact performance. |
|
IMO this is a bad idea. We don't want to encourage people to use the LAPACK interfaces directly because the character interface is bad, and the function names are bad. Adding extra checks for using a low level library directly that should instead be called via wrappers that ensure correct construction is IMO not the right way to go here. |
|
@oscardssmith I don't agree. These are not exported interfaces - and hence it is clear to people what they are. While we are under no obligation to make them nice, people do use these, and they should work nicely. If someone writes a new Julian LAPACK interface at some point, we can always point people there. |
I was going to mention that we could do a lot better on post-call error messages. Looking forward! |

This PR validates the input parameters to the Julia LAPACK wrappers, so
that the error messages are more informative.
On nightly
```julia
julia> using LinearAlgebra
julia> LAPACK.geev!('X', 'X', rand(2,2))
** On entry to DGEEV parameter number 1 had an illegal value
ERROR: ArgumentError: invalid argument #1 to LAPACK call
```
This PR
```julia
julia> using LinearAlgebra
julia> LAPACK.geev!('X', 'X', rand(2,2))
ERROR: ArgumentError: argument #1: jobvl must be one of ('N', 'V'), but 'X' was passed
```
Secondly, moved certain allocations (e.g. in `geevx`) below the
validation checks, so that these only happen for valid parameter values.
Thirdly, added `require_one_based_indexing` checks to functions where
these were missing.
