* added performance test for compareHist
* compareHist reworked to use wide universal intrinsics
* Disabled vectorization for CV_COMP_CORREL and CV_COMP_BHATTACHARYYA if f64 is unsupported
* significantly reduced OpenCV binary size by disabling IPP calls in some OpenCV functions: Sobel, Scharr, medianBlur, GaussianBlur, filter2D, mean, meanStdDev, norm, sum, minMaxIdx, sort.
* re-enable IPP in norm, since it's much faster (without adding too much space overhead)
* removed C API in the following modules: photo, video, imgcodecs, videoio
* trying to fix various compile errors and warnings on Windows and Linux
* continue to fix compile errors and warnings
* continue to fix compile errors, warnings, as well as the test failures
* trying to resolve compile warnings on Android
* Update cap_dc1394_v2.cpp
fix warning from the new GCC
* Updated boxFilter implementations to use wide universal intrinsics
* boxFilter implementation moved to separate file
* Replaced ROUNDUP macro with roundUp() function
* integrated the new C++ persistence; removed old persistence; most of OpenCV compiles fine! the tests have not been run yet
* fixed multiple bugs in the new C++ persistence
* fixed raw size of the parsed empty sequences
* [temporarily] excluded obsolete applications traincascade and createsamples from build
* fixed several compiler warnings and multiple test failures
* undo changes in cocoa window rendering (that was fixed in another PR)
* fixed more compile warnings and the remaining test failures (hopefully)
* trying to fix the last little warning
* RGB2RGB initially rewritten
* NEON impl removed
* templated version added for ushort, float
* data copying allowed for RGB2RGB
* inplace processing fixed
* fields to local vars
* no zeroupper until it's fixed
* vx_cleanup() added back
* rewrote the line segment intersection function to make the static analyzer happy
* fixed bug with improper "no intersection" detection in some of corner cases
* fixed bug with improper "no intersection" detection in some of corner cases
Exceptions caught by value incur needless cost in C++, most of them can
be caught by const-reference, especially as nearly none are actually
used. This could allow compiler generate a slightly more efficient code.
