Like in change 2606abed53
, we have hit the threshould again. With
AVX512 builds we would never have Vector8f packets aligned at 64
bytes (the new value of EIGEN_MAX_ALIGN_BYTES after change 405859f18d
,
for AVX512-enabled builds).
This makes test/dynalloc.cpp pass for those builds.
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
* renaming, e.g. LU ---> FullPivLU
* split tests framework: more robust, e.g. dont generate empty tests if a number is skipped
* make all remaining tests use that splitting, as needed.
* Fix 4x4 inversion (see stable branch)
* Transform::inverse() and geo_transform test : adapt to new inverse() API, it was also trying to instantiate inverse() for 3x4 matrices.
* CMakeLists: more robust regexp to parse the version number
* misc fixes in unit tests
Until now, the user had to edit the source code to do that.
Internally, add EIGEN_ALIGN that takes into account both EIGEN_DONT_ALIGN.and
EIGEN_ARCH_WANTS_ALIGNMENT. From now on, only EIGEN_ALIGN should be used to
test whether we want to align.
This should remove most portability issues to other platforms where data alignment issues (including
overloading operator new and new[]) can be tricky, and where data alignment is not needed in the first place.
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"...
