* Clean: replace C style asserts by CV_Assert and CV_DbgAssert
* Try fixing warning on Windows compilation
* Another way trying to fix warnings on Win
* Fixing warnings with some compilers:
Some compilers warn on systematic exit preventing to execute the code that follows.
This is why assert(0) that exits only in debug was working, but not CV_Assert or CV_Error
that exit both in release and debug, even if with different behavior.
In addition, other compilers complain when return 0 is removed from getKey(),
even if before we have a statement leading to systematic exit.
* Disable "unreachable code" warnings for Win compilers so we can use proper CV_Error
Before, when maxCheck was reached in the first descent of a tree, time was still wasted parsing
the next trees till their best leaves whose points were not used at all.
Clarify component statistics documentation
* Change ConnectedComponentsTypes documentation
Change from "algorithm output formats" to "statistics" because it specifies types of statistics, not formats.
* Documentation: clarify component statistics
Explain that ConnectedComponentTypes selects a statistic.
Argument "a" is of type ElementType* that is either int* or float*, while b was double*.
Mixing types prevents the possibility to use SSE or AVX instructions.
On implementation without SIMD instructions, this doesn't show any impact on performance.
* Clean: make the use of the indices array length consistent
Either we don't want this method to be used in the future for any other node
than the root node, and so we replace indices_length by size_ and remove it as
argument, or we want to be able to use it potentially for other nodes, and
so using size_ instead of indices_length would have lead to a bug.
* Fix: b was not an address
* Fix: transpose the Flann repo commit "Fixes in accum_dist methods" from Adil Ibragimov
Avoids trying to compute log(ratio) with ratio = 0
* Fix: transpose the Flann repo commit "result_set bugfix" from Jack Rae
* Fix Jack Rae commit as the initial i - 1 index was decremented before entering the loop body
* Clean: transpose the Flann repo commit "Updated comments in lsh_index" from Richard McPherson
* Fix: Transpose the Flann repo commit "Fixing unreachable code in lsh_table.h" from hypevr
* Fix warning the same way it was done in flann standalone repo
* Change the return value in case of unsupported type
