This provide several advantages:
- more flexibility in designing unit tests
- unit tests can be glued to speed up compilation
- unit tests are compiled with same predefined macros, which is a requirement for zapcc
- AlignedBit flag is deprecated. Alignment is now specified by the evaluator through the 'Alignment' enum, e.g., evaluator<Xpr>::Alignment. Its value is in Bytes.
- Add several enums to specify alignment: Aligned8, Aligned16, Aligned32, Aligned64, Aligned128. AlignedMax corresponds to EIGEN_MAX_ALIGN_BYTES. Such enums are used to define the above Alignment value, and as the 'Options' template parameter of Map<> and Ref<>.
- The Aligned enum is now deprecated. It is now an alias for Aligned16.
- Currently, traits<Matrix<>>, traits<Array<>>, traits<Ref<>>, traits<Map<>>, and traits<Block<>> also expose the Alignment enum.
Created a new EIGEN_ALIGN_BYTES define to encode how the data should be aligned
Fixed a few remaining alignment issues exposed when the Eigen code is compiled with avx enabled.
Created a new EIGEN_ALIGN_DEFAULT define, which is set to the minimum alignment value required for the chosen instruction set. Use this value instead of EIGEN_ALIGN32 to preserve the existing alignment on SSE/Altivec/Neon.
