 *
 * Interface for Control Allocation Algorithms
 *
 * Implementers of this interface are expected to update the members
 * of this base class in the `allocate` method.
 *
 * Example usage:
 * ```
 * [...]
 * // Initialization
 * ControlAllocationMethodImpl alloc();
 * alloc.setEffectivenessMatrix(effectiveness, actuator_trim);
 * alloc.setActuatorMin(actuator_min);
 * alloc.setActuatorMin(actuator_max);
 *
 * while (1) {
 * 	[...]
 *
 * 	// Set control setpoint, allocate actuator setpoint, retrieve actuator setpoint
 * 	alloc.setControlSetpoint(control_sp);
 * 	alloc.allocate();
 * 	actuator_sp = alloc.getActuatorSetpoint();
 *
 * 	// Check if the control setpoint was fully allocated
 *	unallocated_control = control_sp - alloc.getAllocatedControl()
 *
 *	[...]
 * }
 * ```
