Because at some point throwing exceptions from MEX files (with mexErrMsgTxt())
was not working under Windows 64-bit, we had designed a workaround to avoid
using exceptions.
Most MEX files were returning an error code as their first (or sometimes last)
argument, and that code would have to be checked from the MATLAB code.
Since this workaround is no longer needed, this commit removes it. As a
consequence, the interface of many MEX files is modified.
For some background, see https://www.dynare.org/pipermail/dev/2010-September/000895.html
It constructs the stacked residuals and jacobian of the perfect foresight
problem.
It is an almost perfect replacement for the perfect_foresight_problem.m
routine, while being much more efficient.
Note however that the DLL never return complex numbers (it instead puts NaNs at
the place where there would have been complex). This may create problems for
some MOD files; the algorithms will need to be adapted to use a more
line-search method.
- Use a switch-case block.
- Added a warning when the user tries to solve a linear(ized) model
with solve_algo different from 0 (for a linear model).
- Added an error message if the user try to solve a linearized model
with stack_solve_algo=6 (not implemented).
