specialized arithmetic and in-place functions

[kalmarek]

by doing promote stuff simple arithmetic allocates a lot:

julia> z = ArbComplex(2)
2.0 + 0im

julia> @time z+1;
  0.000023 seconds (11 allocations: 600 bytes)

by exploiting arbs acb_add_si this can be cut to

julia> @time z+1;
  0.000010 seconds (5 allocations: 272 bytes)

Mutable arithmetic/ funcions

I'd like to see three-argument arithmetic (along the lines of mul!(out, x, y)). (related: #6)

For all the functions wrapped through @eval (ex. most of elementary.jl) we could easily expose the two argument versions

f!(out, args...) = ... #ccall to arb
function f(args...)
    res = ... #allocate the result;
    f!(res, args...)
    return res
end

Again, this for the purpose of writing more functions and cutting on the allocations/time (especially handy when evaluating the integrand)

will you accept such changes?

to the first part, those would have to be dispatch specializations .. and to have them foreach of our types and with either ordering of args; we still need the promote versions. Jeffrey Sarnoff

[kalmarek]

yes, I by no means intend to replace promote versions; These are supposed to be the fast-track paths for Arb & Int arithmetic

[kalmarek]

do you know why arb has arf_mul in its docs, but the library does not export the symbol??

[JeffreySarnoff]

(just getting back into the game -- will ask)

[JeffreySarnoff]

and I will accept this as a PR

[kalmarek]

arf_mul is a macro
https://github.com/fredrik-johansson/arb/blob/038c3a3e0152840b311f82926855688b3a9dadfd/arf.h#L910
I've added a work-around

[JeffreySarnoff]

Yes, now I remember that. Good to have the work around. Please post that itself too.
