(former solution still available and tested)
This plays much better with classes that already have base classes --
don't force the user to mess with multiple inheritance, which gave
much trouble with MSVC.
* Expand the unaligned assert dox page
* Minor fixes in the lazy evaluation dox page
can't believe that 3 people wasted so much time because of a missing &
!!!!!
and this time MSVC didn't catch it so it was really copying the vector
on the stack at an unaligned location!
For that reason, we shouldn't give Matrix two empty base classes, since sizeof(Matrix) must be optimal.
So we overload operator new and delete manually rather than inheriting an empty struct for doing that.
order, one bit for enabling/disabling auto-alignment. If you want to
disable, do:
Matrix<float,4,1,Matrix_DontAlign>
The Matrix_ prefix is the only way I can see to avoid
ambiguity/pollution. The old RowMajor, ColMajor constants are
deprecated, remain for now.
* this prompted several improvements in matrix_storage. ei_aligned_array
renamed to ei_matrix_array and moved there. The %16==0 tests are now
much more centralized in 1 place there.
* unalignedassert test: updated
* update FindEigen2.cmake from KDElibs
* determinant test: use VERIFY_IS_APPROX to fix false positives; add
testing of 1 big matrix
* Matrix: always inherit WithAlignedOperatorNew, regardless of
vectorization or not
* rename ei_alloc_stack to ei_aligned_stack_alloc
* mixingtypes test: disable vectorization as SSE intrinsics don't allow
mixing types and we just get compile errors there.
cachefriendlyproduct, that should be banned as well as depending on the
platform they can give a malloc, and they could happen even with (large
enough) fixed size matrices. Corresponding fix in Product.h:
cachefriendly is now only used for dynamic matrices -- fixedsize, no
matter how large, doesn't use the cachefriendly product. We don't need
to care (in my opinion) about performance for large fixed size, as large
fixed size is a bad idea in the first place and it is more important to
be able to guarantee clearly that fixed size never causes a malloc.
* fixes for mistakes (especially in the cast() methods in Geometry) revealed by the new "mixing types" test
* dox love, including a section on coeff access in core and an overview in geometry
* fix issues in Product revealed by this test
* in Dot.h forbid mixing of different types (at least for now, might allow real.dot(complex) in the future).
* use _mm_malloc/_mm_free on other platforms than linux of MSVC (eg., cygwin, OSX)
* replace a lot of inline keywords by EIGEN_STRONG_INLINE to compensate for
poor MSVC inlining
* actually GCC 4.3.0 has a bug, "deprecated" placed at the end
of a function prototype doesn't have any effect, moving them to
the start of the function prototype makes it actually work!
* finish porting the cholesky unit-test to the new LLT/LDLT,
after the above fix revealed a deprecated warning
Derived to MatrixBase.
* the optimization of eval() for Matrix now consists in a partial
specialization of ei_eval, which returns a reference type for Matrix.
No overriding of eval() in Matrix anymore. Consequence: careful,
ei_eval is no longer guaranteed to give a plain matrix type!
For that, use ei_plain_matrix_type, or the PlainMatrixType typedef.
* so lots of changes to adapt to that everywhere. Hope this doesn't
break (too much) MSVC compilation.
* add code examples for the new image() stuff.
* lower a bit the precision for floats in the unit tests as
we were already doing some workarounds in inverse.cpp and we got some
failed tests.
