/*
A user must implement a function compatible with ::lbfgs_evaluate_t (evaluation
callback) and pass the pointer to the callback function to lbfgs() arguments.
Similarly, a user can implement a function compatible with ::lbfgs_progress_t
(progress callback) to obtain the current progress (e.g., variables, function
value, ||G||, etc) and to cancel the iteration process if necessary.
Implementation of a progress callback is optional: a user can pass \c NULL if
progress notification is not necessary.

In addition, a user must preserve two requirements:
    - The number of variables must be multiples of 16 (this is not 4).
    - The memory block of variable array ::x must be aligned to 16.

This algorithm terminates an optimization
when:

    ||G|| < \epsilon \cdot \max(1, ||x||) .

In this formula, ||.|| denotes the Euclidean norm.
