only used as fallback for now, needs benchmarking.
also notice that some malloc() impls do waste memory to keep track of alignment
and other stuff (check msdn's page on malloc).
* expand test_dynalloc to cover low level aligned alloc funcs. Remove the old
#ifdef EIGEN_VECTORIZE...
* rewrite the logic choosing an aligned alloc, some new stuff:
* malloc() already aligned on freebsd and windows x64 (plus apple already)
* _mm_malloc() used only if EIGEN_VECTORIZE
* posix_memalign: correct detection according to man page (not necessarily
linux specific), don't attempt to declare it if the platform didn't declare it
(there had to be a reason why it didn't declare it, right?)
ei_aligned_malloc now really behaves like a malloc
(untyped, doesn't call ctor)
ei_aligned_new is the typed variant calling ctor
EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW now takes the class name as parameter
* add a WithAlignedOperatorNew class with overloaded operator new
* make Matrix (and Quaternion, Transform, Hyperplane, etc.) use it
if needed such that "*(new Vector4) = xpr" does not failed anymore.
* Please: make sure your classes having fixed size Eigen's vector
or matrice attributes inherit WithAlignedOperatorNew
* add a ei_new_allocator STL memory allocator to use with STL containers.
This allocator really calls operator new on your types (unlike GCC's
new_allocator). Example:
std::vector<Vector4f> data(10);
will segfault if the vectorization is enabled, instead use:
std::vector<Vector4f,ei_new_allocator<Vector4f> > data(10);
NOTE: you only have to worry if you deal with fixed-size matrix types
with "sizeof(matrix_type)%16==0"...
