*Add Eigen/StdVector header.
Including it #includes<vector> and "Core" and generates a partial
specialization of std::vector<T> for T=Eigen::Matrix<...>
that will work even with vectorizable fixed-size Eigen types
(working around a design issue in the c++ STL)
*Add unit-test
CCMAIL: alex.stapleton@gmail.com
* the dashboard is there: http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=Eigen
* now you can run the tests from the top build dir
and submit report like that (from the top build dir):
ctest -D Experimental
* todo:
- add some nighlty builds (I'll add a few on my computer)
- add valgrind memory checks, performances tests, compilation time tests, etc.
* extend unit tests
* add support for generic sum reduction and dot product
* optimize the cwise()* : this is a special case of CwiseBinaryOp where
we only have to process the coeffs which are not null for *both* matrices.
Perhaps there exist some other binary operations like that ?
* 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).
* add a LDL^T factorization with solver using code from T. Davis's LDL
library (LPGL2.1+)
* various bug fixes in trianfular solver, matrix product, etc.
* improve cmake files for the supported libraries
* split the sparse unit test
* etc.
Some naming questions:
- for "extend" we could also think of: "expand", "union", "add"
- same for "clamp": "crop", "intersect"
- same for "contains": "isInside", "intersect"
=> ah "intersect" is conflicting, so that eliminates this one !
* 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"...
* added a meta.cpp unit test
* EIGEN_TUNE_FOR_L2_CACHE_SIZE now represents L2 block size in Bytes (whence the ei_meta_sqrt...)
* added a CustomizeEigen.dox page
* added a TOC to QuickStartGuide.dox
IoFormat OctaveFmt(4, AlignCols, ", ", ";\n", "", "", "[", "]");
cout << mat.format(OctaveFmt);
The first "4" is the precision.
Documentation missing.
* Some compilation fixes
- the decompostion code has been adfapted from JAMA
- handles non square matrices of size MxN with M>=N
- does not work for complex matrices
- includes a solver where the parts corresponding to zero singular values are set to zero
* fix .normalized() so that Random().normalized() works; since the return
type became complicated to write down i just let it return an actual
vector, perhaps not optimal.
* add Sparse/CMakeLists.txt. I suppose that it was intentional that it
didn't have CMakeLists, but in <=2.0 releases I'll just manually remove
Sparse.
*in test/CMakeLists : modify EI_ADD_TEST so that 2nd argument is
additional compiler flags. used to add -O2 to test_product_large so it
doesn't take forever.
pivoting for better numerical stability. For now the only application is
determinant.
* New determinant unit-test.
* Disable most of Swap.h for now as it makes LU fail (mysterious).
Anyway Swap needs a big overhaul as proposed on IRC.
* Remnants of old class Inverse removed.
* Some warnings fixed.
* faster matrix-matrix and matrix-vector products (especially for not aligned cases)
* faster tridiagonalization (make it using our matrix-vector impl.)
Others:
* fix Flags of Map
* split the test_product to two smaller ones
packet access, it is not certain that it will bring a performance
improvement: benchmarking needed.
* improve logic choosing slice vectorization.
* fix typo in SSE packet math, causing crash in unaligned case.
* fix bug in Product, causing crash in unaligned case.
* add TEST_SSE3 CMake option.
finally that's more subtle than just using ei_nested, because when
flagging with NestByValueBit we want to store the expression by value
already, regardless of whether it already had the NestByValueBit set.
* rename temporary() ----> nestByValue()
* move the old Product.h to disabled/, replace by what was ProductWIP.h
* tweak -O and -g flags for tests and examples
* reorder the tests -- basic things go first
* simplifications, e.g. in many methoeds return derived() and count on
implicit casting to the actual return type.
* strip some not-really-useful stuff from the heaviest tests
If the number of coefficients does not match the matrix size, then an assertion is raised.
No support for xpr on the right side for the moment.
* Added support for assertion checking. This allows to test that an assertion is indeed raised
when it should be.
* Fixed a mistake in the CwiseUnary example.
with minimal code duplication. There now are only two (2)
const_cast remaining in the whole source code.
- eigen2 now fully allows copying a row-vector into a column-vector.
added a unit-test for that.
- split unit tests, improve docs, various improvements.
After huge thread on eigen mailing list, it appears that i'm the
only one in favor of prefix Ei. Everybody else prefers namespace
Eigen like we did in Eigen 1. So, revert.
Also add a macro USING_EIGEN_DATA_TYPES that application programmers
can use to automatically do "using"on the Matrix class and its
matrix/vector typedefs:
using Eigen::Matrix;
using Eigen::Matrix2d;
using Eigen::Vector2d;
... (the list of typedefs is really long).
thanks to the suffixes, the Vector typedefs aren't really polluting.

P.S. Danny, please skip this one :) I know you already reported the
namespace->prefix move, now that one would be too much noise :)
