Description
Hi, I was playing with CSR as a prospect tool for using sparse matrices in Numba. In my use case, multiplication of a complex matrix and a complex vector is common, e.g.,
import numpy as np, scipy as sp
import csr
# Complex matrix
A_ = sp.sparse.random(5, 5, density=0.1, format='csr') + 1j*sp.sparse.random(5, 5, density=0.1, format='csr')
A = csr.create(A_.shape[0], A_.shape[1], A_.nnz, A_.indptr, A_.indices, A_.data)
# Complex vector
b = np.random.random(5) + 1j*np.random.random(5)
# Expected output is a complex vector
A.mult_vec(b)
However, the last line in the above snippet raises a TypingError, i.e.,
TypingError: Failed in nopython mode pipeline (step: nopython frontend)
No implementation of function Function(<built-in function setitem>) found for signature:
>>> setitem(array(float64, 1d, C), int64, complex128)
There are 16 candidate implementations:
- Of which 16 did not match due to:
Overload of function 'setitem': File: <numerous>: Line N/A.
With argument(s): '(array(float64, 1d, C), int64, complex128)':
No match.
During: typing of setitem at absolute\path\to\my\conda-env\lib\site-packages\csr\kernels\numba\__init__.py (62)

col = h.colinds[i]
res[row] += v[col] * h._e_value(i)

Research direction
Reproduce the example in the issue, then inspect csr/kernels/numba/init.py around line 62, where mult_vec assigns the multiplication result. Done means multiplying a complex CSR matrix by a complex vector returns the expected complex vector without a Numba TypingError, with a regression test for this case.
