* change test_is_equal so it just checks for equality, doesn't try anymore to allow to ignoring the difference between col and row vectors.
(needed for the upcoming Index types change)
* in ei_assert, don't report on cerr if we're inside of VERIFY_RAISES_ASSERT
enforce this mechanism (otherwise ReturnByValue bypasses it).
(use .noalias() to get the old behavior.)
* Remove a hack in Inverse, futile optimization for 2x2 expressions.
* use SelfAdjointView instead of Eigen2's SelfAdjoint flag.
* add tests and documentation.
* allow eigenvalues() for non-selfadjoint matrices.
* they no longer depend only on SelfAdjointEigenSolver, so move them to
a separate file
Rationale: coeffRef() methods should only exist when we have DirectAccess. So a natural thing to do would have been to use enable_if, but since there are many methods it made more sense to do the "enable_if" for the whole group by introducing a new class. And that also that the benefit of not changing method prototypes.
I didn't even put it in Eigen2Support because it requires several other modules. But if you want we can always create a new module, Eigen2Support_LeastSquares...
* Now completely generic so all standard integer types (like char...) are supported.
** add unit test for that (integer_types).
* NumTraits does no longer inherit numeric_limits
* All math functions are now templated
* Better guard (static asserts) against using certain math functions on integer types.
* get rid of BlockReturnType: it was not needed, and code was not always using it consistently anyway
* add topRows(), leftCols(), bottomRows(), rightCols()
* add corners unit-test covering all of that
* adapt docs, expand "porting from eigen 2 to 3"
* adapt Eigen2Support
- Updated unit tests to check above constructor.
- In the compute() method of decompositions: Made temporary matrices/vectors class members to avoid heap allocations during compute() (when dynamic matrices are used, of course).
These changes can speed up decomposition computation time when a solver instance is used to solve multiple same-sized problems. An added benefit is that the compute() method can now be invoked in contexts were heap allocations are forbidden, such as in real-time control loops.
CAVEAT: Not all of the decompositions in the Eigenvalues module have a heap-allocation-free compute() method. A future patch may address this issue, but some required API changes need to be incorporated first.
* adapt Eigenvalues module to the new rule that the RowMajorBit must have the proper value for vectors
* Fix RowMajorBit in ei_traits<ProductBase>
* Fix vectorizability logic in CoeffBasedProduct
* Introduction of strides-at-compile-time so for example the optimized code really knows when it needs to evaluate to a temporary
* StorageKind / XprKind
* Quaternion::setFromTwoVectors: use JacobiSVD instead of SVD
* ComplexSchur: support the 1x1 case
of ei_matrix_array for size 0
* adapt many xprs to have the right storage order, now that it matters
* add static assert on expressions to check that vector xprs
have the righ storage order
* adapt ei_plain_matrix_type_(column|row)_major
* implement assignment of selfadjointview to matrix
(was before failing to compile) and add nestedExpression() methods
* expand product_symm test
* in ei_gemv_selector, use the PlainObject type instead of a custom Matrix<...> type
* fix VectorBlock and Block mistakes
NOTE: The ComplexEigenSolver class currently _does_ allocate (line 135 of Eigenvalues/ComplexEigenSolver.h), but the reason appears to be in the implementation of matrix-matrix products, and not in the decomposition itself.
The nomalloc unit test has been extended to verify that decompositions do not allocate when max sizes are specified. There are currently two workarounds to prevent the test from failing (see comments in test/nomalloc.cpp), both of which are related to matrix products that allocate on the stack.
* kill EIGEN_DONT_ALIGN_HEAP option (one should use EIGEN_DONT_ALIGN)
* rename EIGEN_DONT_ALIGN_STACK to EIGEN_DONT_ALIGN_STATICALLY. hope it's a better name.
as gcc on ARM (both CodeSourcery 4.4.1 used and experimental 4.5) fail to
ensure proper alignment with __attribute__((aligned(16))). This has to be
fixed upstream to remove the workarounds.
