This PR makes several performance improvements to reduce memory allocations: ## Changes ### Type stability improvements - Made JacData struct parametric with concrete types instead of abstract `Real` and `Any` ### Allocation reductions in hot paths - `dassl_norm`: Replaced `norm(v ./ wt)` with manual loop to avoid temporary array - `stepper`: Use `@view` for array slices instead of copying - `stepper`: Compute alpha sum without array comprehension - `stepper`: Compute alpha values without allocating temporary array - `newStepOrderContinuous`: Check increasing/decreasing sequences without `diff()` allocation - `errorEstimates`: Use views for array slices - `errorEstimates`: Add `_all_steps_equal` helper to avoid `diff()` allocation - `interpolateAt`, `interpolateDerivativeAt`, `interpolateHighestDerivative`: Add `@inbounds` for inner loops ### Test improvements - Add allocation regression tests using AllocCheck - Add BenchmarkTools as test dependency for benchmarking ## Benchmark Results (simple ODE, dy/dt = -y) | Metric | Before | After | Improvement | |--------|--------|-------|-------------| | Memory | 158 KB | 100 KB | 37% less | | Allocs | 4969 | 3417 | 31% fewer | | Median time | 223 μs | 203 μs | 9% faster | For longer integrations (t=0 to 10): | Metric | Before | After | Improvement | |--------|--------|-------|-------------| | Memory | 472 KB | 270 KB | 43% less | | Allocs | 14593 | 9303 | 36% fewer | | Median time | 606 μs | 529 μs | 13% faster | 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

In-Place Solver Support AddedAdded in-place (mutating) solver support following the OrdinaryDiffEq.jl cache pattern (similar to Tsit5). New Features:
DiffEqBase Interface Fix:The previous implementation allocated # OLD (allocates every call)
f = (t, u, du) -> (out = similar(u); prob.f(out, du, u, p, t); out)Now, in-place problems automatically use the cache-based path with zero per-call allocations: # NEW (no per-call allocation)
cache = alg_cache(alg, prob.u0, p, tspan[1], Val(true))
F! = (out, t, u, du) -> prob.f(out, du, u, p, t)
dasslSolve!(cache, F!, ...)Test Results:All 146 tests pass including new in-place operation tests. |
