% BWBLKSLV Solves block sparse upper-triangular system.
%    y = bwblkslv(L,b) yields the same result as
%              y(L.perm,:) = L.L'\b
%    However, BWBLKSLV is faster than the built-in operator "\",
%    because it uses dense linear algebra and loop-unrolling on
%    supernodes.
%
%    Typical use, with X sparse m x m positive definite and b is m x n:
%            L = sparchol(symbchol(X),X);
%            y = bwblkslv(L,fwblkslv(L,b));
%    Then y solves X*y=b.
%
% SEE ALSO symbchol, sparchol, fwblkslv, \, /.

  function y = bwblkslvfun(L,b)

  if issparse(b); b = full(b); end;
  y = mexbwblkslv(L,b);
