// This is the interface through which the least squares solver accesses the
// residual and Jacobian of the least squares problem. Users are expected to
// subclass CostFunction to define their own terms in the least squares problem.
//
// It is recommended that users define templated residual functors for use as
// arguments for AutoDiffCostFunction (see autodiff_cost_function.h), instead of
// directly implementing the CostFunction interface. This often results in both
// shorter code and faster execution than hand-coded derivatives. However,
// specialized cases may demand direct implementation of the lower-level
// CostFunction interface; for example, this is true when calling legacy code
// which is not templated on numeric types.

// to describe their least squares problem to Ceres. In other words, this is the
// modelling layer between users and the Ceres optimizer. The signature of the
// function (number and sizes of input parameter blocks and number of outputs)
// is stored in parameter_block_sizes_ and num_residuals_ respectively. User
// code inheriting from this class is expected to set these two members with the
// corresponding accessors. This information will be verified by the Problem
// when added with AddResidualBlock().

// parameters is an array of pointers to arrays containing the
// various parameter blocks. parameters has the same number of
// elements as parameter_block_sizes_. Parameter blocks are in the
// same order as parameter_block_sizes_.i.e.,
//
// parameters_[i] = double[parameter_block_sizes_[i]]
//
// Outputs:
//
// residuals is an array of size num_residuals_.
//
// jacobians is an array of size parameter_block_sizes_ containing
// pointers to storage for jacobian blocks corresponding to each
// parameter block. Jacobian blocks are in the same order as
// parameter_block_sizes, i.e. jacobians[i], is an
// array that contains num_residuals_* parameter_block_sizes_[i]
// elements. Each jacobian block is stored in row-major order, i.e.,
//
// jacobians[i][r*parameter_block_size_[i] + c] =
// d residual[r] / d parameters[i][c]
//
// If jacobians is NULL, then no derivatives are returned; this is
// the case when computing cost only. If jacobians[i] is NULL, then
// the jacobian block corresponding to the i'th parameter block must
// not to be returned.
//
// The return value indicates whether the computation of the
// residuals and/or jacobians was successful or not.
//
// This can be used to communicate numerical failures in jacobian
// computations for instance.
//
// A more interesting and common use is to impose constraints on the
// parameters. If the initial values of the parameter blocks satisfy
// the constraints, then returning false whenever the constraints
// are not satisfied will prevent the solver from moving into the
// infeasible region. This is not a very sophisticated mechanism for
// enforcing constraints, but is often good enough.
//
// Note that it is important that the initial values of the
// parameter block must be feasible, otherwise the solver will
// declare a numerical problem at iteration 0.
