* Use them to write an unrolled path in echelon.cpp, as an
experiment before I do this LU module.
* For floating-point types, make ei_random() use an amplitude
of 1.
when to evaluate arguments and when to meta-unroll.
-use it in Product to determine when to eval args. not yet used
to determine when to unroll. for now, not used anywhere else but
that'll follow.
-fix badness of my last commit
the cacheOptimal is only good for large enough matrices.
When taking a block in a fixed-size (hence small) matrix,
the SizeAtCompileTime is Dynamic hence that's not a good
indicator. This example shows that the good indicator is
MaxSizeAtCompileTime.
Result: +10% speed in echelon.cpp
* macro renaming: EIGEN_NDEBUG becomes EIGEN_NO_DEBUG
as this is much better (and similar to Qt) and
EIGEN_CUSTOM_ASSERT becomes EIGEN_USE_CUSTOM_ASSERT
* protect Core header by a EIGEN_CORE_H
to disable eigen's asserts without disabling one's own program's
asserts. Notice that Eigen code should now use ei_assert()
instead of assert().
* Remove findBiggestCoeff() as it's now almost redundant.
* Improve echelon.cpp: inner for loop replaced by xprs.
* remove useless "(*this)." here and there. I think they were
first introduced by automatic search&replace.
* fix compilation in Visitor.h (issue triggered by echelon.cpp)
* improve comment on swap().
(the global funcs in MathFunctions.h and Fuzzy.h don't count as internal).
* Mainpage.dox. Add a few prospective Eigen users; change the recommended
-finline-limit from 10000 to 1000. The reason is: it could be harmful to have
a too big value here, couldn't it? (e.g. exceedingly large executables, cache
misses). Looking at gcc, a value of 900 would exactly mean "determine the inlining
of all functions as if they were marked with 'inline' keyword". So a value of
1000 seems a reasonable round number. In the benchmark that motivated this
(TestEigenSolvers) a value of 400 is enough on my system.
- finally get the Eval stuff right. get back to having Eval as
a subclass of Matrix with limited functionality, and then,
add a typedef MatrixType to get the actual matrix type.
- add swap(), findBiggestCoeff()
- bugfix by Ramon in Transpose
- new demo: doc/echelon.cpp
