Over the
AbstractMatrix
relaxation in v1.9, we missed a potential indirection for wrapped sparse matrices. Instead, by default, asimilar
copy is created (hence a sparse matrix) and thenlu!
with a pivot argument is called. Such a method, however, does not exist in SparseArrays.jl, which means that thegeneric_lufact!
method gets called, which is probably really bad performance-wise, due to heavy reading and writing into the sparse matrix. This PR introduces one more level at which SparseArrays.jl (and perhaps other external packages) may interfere and redirect to their own implementations, in-place or out-of-place.
