Summary

Now the Scipy ODE solver will use an static function built with C++, so there's no compilation on the flight nor the need for the user to have a specific set of toolchain nor files laying around.

Details and comments

I haven't benchmarked anything yet, because I focused on making it work instead of having best performance (things should go faster though for small simulations, longer simulations should not at the moment).
There's a flag in the rutime config: use_cpp_ode_func that can be enabled to use the C++ version of the solver or the Cyhton one. I want to keep both for a while just in case the C++ version is buggy. Cyhton one will be removed eventually.

About the code

The main files are:
- numeric_integrator.cpp: Here is where all the logic resides. It's a direct translation of the algorithm that was being generated dynamically, plus some changes to generalize it (or be able to make it static)
- python_to_cpp.hpp: A set of function helpers to wrap Python C API with C++ containers (some STL and some defined by me).
- jlog.hpp: This is not being used in the code at the moment, but are a bunch of convinient functions for logging complex structures

TODO

(We may want to address some of these items in following PRs)

  • Fix the linter
  • Fix a crash that exists in both versions running some Pulse tests
  • Restructure files in the project
  • Remove unccessary cython files
  • Linux support
  • Windows support

Debugging :)
Add functionality to helpers
Tests are passing (some intermittent crashes due to bad inherited code).
code
- Tunning examples to run faster so we can measure speed ups way easier
- Adding the linux static version of MuparserX library

Is the plan to maintain both the runtime compiled cython as well as this new parsing library?

* Calling c++ implementation of the numeric integrator solver function (just a
basic scaffolding)
* Adding C++ and helpers code (still not building)
* Adding tests for the C++ helpers on Python C API
* Adding my ordered_map to guarantee order insertion iteration (ala Python's OrderedDict)
* Adding muparserx library for parsing hamiltonian math expressions
* Now we can use both Cython and C++ func ODE solver depending on a config param: use_cpp_ode_func
* Disabling Pulse simulator related tests for Python 3.5
