[Pytorch, OpenCV] Implicit ArrayRef, Updates for JavaCPP 1.5.10

[HGuillemet]

Pytorch

• Have methods taking an ArrayRef accept also a Vector (relying on C++ converting constructor of ArrayRef) when the corresponding vector template instance has been mapped in Java. This allows to write for instance:

  Tensor tensor2 = tensor1.index(new TensorIndexVector(new TensorIndex(x), new TensorIndex(new Slice())));

  instead of explicitly constructing the TensorArrayRef to pass to index. This is still much heavier that what we can write in C++:

  Tensor tensor2 = tensor1.index({x, Slice()});

  but it's better than with explicit use of ArrayRef.
• Adjust infos for templated constructors (PR Improve parsing of operator and function templates javacpp#732)
• Adjust infos for template specializations (PR Fix parsing of template specializations and templated friend functions javacpp#733)

OpenCV

• Add Info.upcast() on Algorithm to prevent crashes when upcasting or downcasting
• Add template instantiations for cv::read and cv::write

Is this pull request done? You're not going to add anything more here for other presets?

[HGuillemet]

Done

[saudet]

Please don't push 200 times a day, Google Drive really doesn't like it, and I don't know how to fix this

[HGuillemet]

I haven't pushed anything for 3 days. Can I help somehow ?

[saudet]

Start by not pushing more than once a day the next time. Why do you do that anyway?

[HGuillemet]

According to the log above, there was just 3 pushes the same day, 4 days ago. No particular reason. I just worked this whole day on the PR I guess.
Is the problem due to these 3 pushes a day or that the third one was a forced-push ?

[saudet]

I asked you why do you had to push more than once a day, and you basically answered that you don't need to. So, don't push more than once a day! Ok? Whenever you push something, the builds for everything that you touched get triggered. Don't do that. Maybe I should just disable automatic triggers for pull request if that feature exists (it doesn't seem to exist), but jeez, just don't push more than once a day! Just don't do it

@HGuillemet The SimpleMNIST sample code doesn't work anymore after merging this. Please fix it

java.lang.NullPointerException: Pointer address of argument 0 is NULL.
    at org.bytedeco.pytorch.MNISTBatchDataset.map (Native Method)
    at SimpleMNIST.main (SimpleMNIST.java:82)

This is the issue about Stack mentioned in bytedeco/javacpp#733.
To sum it up:
Stack primary template is a declaration without body.
Template specializations (that have bodies in this case), are now ignored.
So the Java classes mapping template instances are @Opaque with no constructor and new ExampleStack() used in SimpleMNIST returns an object with a null address.

I'll add an ugly javaText to give the text of the whole class and force the generation of a constructor.
Unless you have a better idea ?

It could be nice to be able in Info to specify an arbitrary javaText to be appended to a class without having to give the text of the whole class or to hook to another existing, unrelated, declaration in the class.

Shall I push the commit to this PR even if it has already been merged ? or open another ?

We can just replace the constructor, no?

Yeah, I thought I did that somewhere already, but I guess not. It's not obvious how it would work. We'd probably need to add new flags and what not, so unless we figure out a nice way to do it without that, let's not do that

Another pull request please, but I'm pretty much done with the release I think, so if no one complained until now I guess no one needs it, so we can do that later I suppose, sounds good?

Well, in fact I don't know how to replace the whole class text. If I add a javaText to the type, it's copied elsewhere when the type is used, not only in the class definition.

The constructor is generated here.
How would you hook an info to target the constructor ?

As you wish. No idea if ExampleStack and TensorExampleStack is of common use. I don't use the dataset api myself.
See also the JavaCPP issue 740 I posted some minutes ago and if you want to include something about it before the release.

[saudet]

No, I'm not going to wait after you fixing things endlessly. You keep breaking things, so if someone complains, please fix it. Otherwise, it's not important I suppose.
