/*
  The recommended length Alen of the array A passed to colamd is given by
  the COLAMD_RECOMMENDED (nnz, n_row, n_col) macro.  It returns -1 if any
  argument is negative.  2*nnz space is required for the row and column
  indices of the matrix. colamd_c (n_col) + colamd_r (n_row) space is
  required for the Col and Row arrays, respectively, which are internal to
  colamd.  An additional n_col space is the minimal amount of "elbow room",
  and nnz/5 more space is recommended for run time efficiency.
  
  This macro is not needed when using symamd.
  
  Explicit typecast to IndexType added Sept. 23, 2002, COLAMD version 2.2, to avoid
  gcc -pedantic warning messages.

  Detects supercolumns by finding matches between columns in the hash buckets.
  Check amongst columns in the set A [row_start ... row_start + row_length-1].
  The columns under consideration are currently *not* in the degree lists,
  and have already been placed in the hash buckets.
 
  The hash bucket for columns whose hash function is equal to h is stored
  as follows:
 
  if head [h] is >= 0, then head [h] contains a degree list, so:
 
  head [h] is the first column in degree bucket h.
  Col [head [h]].headhash gives the first column in hash bucket h.
 
  otherwise, the degree list is empty, and:
 
  -(head [h] + 2) is the first column in hash bucket h.
 
  For a column c in a hash bucket, Col [c].shared3.prev is NOT a "previous
  column" pointer.  Col [c].shared3.hash is used instead as the hash number
  for that column.  The value of Col [c].shared4.hash_next is the next column
  in the same hash bucket.
 
  Assuming no, or "few" hash collisions, the time taken by this routine is
  linear in the sum of the sizes (lengths) of each column whose score has
  just been computed in the approximate degree computation.
