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.
* 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
---> question: do we change the prefix eigen2/ to eigen3/ now?
no, better wait until we've also changed the repository name
* more message improvements: "Install Eigen" was unclear as it left
out other things like the BLAS library
* remove EIGEN_BUILD_TESTS and siblings
* add summary at the end of cmake run, hopefully not too verbose
* fix build of quaternion demo
* kill remnants of old binary library option
* try to be clever in matrix ctors and operator=: be lazy when we can, always allow
to copy rowvector into columnvector, check the template parameters,
try to factor the code better
* add missing copy ctor in UnalignedType
* fix bug in the traits of DiagonalProduct
* renaming: EIGEN_TUNE_FOR_CPU_CACHE_SIZE
* update the dox a little
That means a lot of features which were available for sparse matrices
via the dense (and super slow) implemention are no longer available.
All features which make sense for sparse matrices (aka can be implemented efficiently) will be
implemented soon, but don't expect to see an API as rich as for the dense path.
Other changes:
* no block(), row(), col() anymore.
* instead use .innerVector() to get a col or row vector of a matrix.
* .segment(), start(), end() will be back soon, not sure for block()
* faster cwise product
* 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.
the modifications to initial code follow:
* changed build system from plain makefiles to cmake
* added eigen2 (4 versions: vec/novec and fixed/dynamic), GMM++, MTL4 interfaces
* added "transposed matrix * vector" product action
* updated blitz interface to use condensed products instead of hand coded loops
* removed some deprecated interfaces
* changed default storage order to column major for all libraries
* new generic bench timer strategy which is supposed to be more accurate
* various code clean-up
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
Triangular class
- full meta-unrolling in Part
- move inverseProduct() to MatrixBase
- compilation fix in ProductWIP: introduce a meta-selector to only do
direct access on types that support it.
- phase out the old Product, remove the WIP_DIRTY stuff.
- misc renaming and fixes
using a macro and _Pragma.
- use OpenMP also in cacheOptimalProduct and in the
vectorized paths as well
- kill the vector assignment unroller. implement in
operator= the logic for assigning a row-vector in
a col-vector.
- CMakeLists support for building tests/examples
with -fopenmp and/or -msse2
- updates in bench/, especially replace identity()
by ones() which prevents underflows from perturbing
bench results.
* add -pedantic to CXXFLAGS
* cleanup intricated expressions with && and ||
which gave warnings because of "missing" parentheses
* fix compile error in NumTraits, apparently discovered
by -pedantic
1) Eigen2 co-installable with Eigen1 without conflict, without affecting programs including either.
2) #include<Eigen/Core> without the .h without conflict with the Core/ directory
3) Uniformize coding style of the CMakeLists.
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 :)
