METIS 5.1.0, with minor modifications by Tim Davis
to incorporate it into SuiteSparse.
This copy of METIS is slightly changed from the original METIS v5.1.0
distribution. The use of METIS in SuiteSparse is optional, but if used, this
revised version is required. Do not attempt to use this copy of METIS to
build a stand-alone METIS library.
(1) In metis-5.1.0/include/metis.h, the default integer size has been changed
from 32 bits to 64 (IDXTYPEWIDTH). METIS 5.1.0 gives this flexility to the
user, asking the user to modify this file. That has been done here, and as
a result, this file is renamed to SuiteSparse_metis.h. Getting the
unmodified libmetis.so in a Linux distro (likely with 32-bit integers)
combined with a modified metis.h (with 64-bit integers) breaks things
badly. So the safest thing is to compile the METIS functions as built
into CHOLMOD, rather than creating a new and different libmetis.so.
(3) The files metis-5.1.0/GKlib/GKLib.h and metis-5.1.0/GKlib/memory.c have
been modified to disable the signal-handling in METIS, which is used when
METIS runs out of memory.
(4) The abs and iabs functions in the original metis-5.1.0 give compiler
warnings when IDXTYPEWIDTH is 64, so they have been replaced with a static
inline function, SuiteSparse_metis_abs64.
(5) Warnings disabled to avoid compiler warnings of
misleading indentation (getopt.c, csr.c).
(6) The malloc/calloc/realloc/free functions have been replaced with
SuiteSparse_config.(malloc/calloc/realloc/free) throughout. The gkmcore
feature is disabled since it can conflict with the use of mxMalloc
in the MATLAB interface to SuiteSparse. See GKlib/memory.c.
(7) All original files from metis-5.1.0 that have been modified here have been
placed in ./include/original, ./libmetis/original, or ./GKlib/original
