/** \class Stride
  * \ingroup Core_Module
  *
  * \brief Holds strides information for Map
  *
  * This class holds the strides information for mapping arrays with strides with class Map.
  *
  * It holds two values: the inner stride and the outer stride.
  *
  * The inner stride is the pointer increment between two consecutive entries within a given row of a
  * row-major matrix or within a given column of a column-major matrix.
  *
  * The outer stride is the pointer increment between two consecutive rows of a row-major matrix or
  * between two consecutive columns of a column-major matrix.
  *
  * These two values can be passed either at compile-time as template parameters, or at runtime as
  * arguments to the constructor.
  *
  * Indeed, this class takes two template parameters:
  *  \param _OuterStrideAtCompileTime the outer stride, or Dynamic if you want to specify it at runtime.
  *  \param _InnerStrideAtCompileTime the inner stride, or Dynamic if you want to specify it at runtime.
  *
  * Here is an example:
  * \include Map_general_stride.cpp
  * Output: \verbinclude Map_general_stride.out
  *
  * \sa class InnerStride, class OuterStride, \ref TopicStorageOrders
