The cap fields allow us to resize back to the original size (just the
same as a cap in a Go slice). This is not necessary for any case where
only slicing to a smaller size is needed. The allocation that we do in
making a new *Dense would not be needed if the mat.Matrix returned did
not modify its own dimensions. So a minimal implementation of what we
have would be (untested and with no bounds checks):
import "gonum.org/v1/gonum/blas64"
type general blas64.General
func (g general) Dims() (r, c int) { return g.Rows, g.Cols }
func (g general) At(i, j int) float64 { return g.Data[i*g.Stride+j] }
func (g general) T() mat.Matrix { return mat.Transpose{g} }
func (g general) Slice(i, k, j, l int) Matrix {
// This is on a non-pointer receiver,
// so the original g is not mutated.
g.Data = g.Data[i*g.Stride+j : (k-1)*g.Stride+l]
g.Rows = k - i
g.Cols = l - j
return g
}
