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
* 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.
* rename Cholesky to LLT
* rename CholeskyWithoutSquareRoot to LDLT
* rename MatrixBase::cholesky() to llt()
* rename MatrixBase::choleskyNoSqrt() to ldlt()
* make {LLT,LDLT}::solve() API consistent with other modules
Note that we are going to keep a source compatibility untill the next beta release.
E.g., the "old" Cholesky* classes, etc are still available for some time.
To be clear, Eigen beta2 should be (hopefully) source compatible with beta1,
and so beta2 will contain all the deprecated API of beta1. Those features marked
as deprecated will be removed in beta3 (or in the final 2.0 if there is no beta 3 !).
Also includes various updated in sparse Cholesky.
* 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
- 33 new snippets
- unfuck doxygen output in Cwise (issues with function macros)
- more see-also links from outside, making Cwise more discoverable
* rename matrixNorm() to operatorNorm(). There are many matrix norms
(the L2 is another one) but only one is called the operator norm.
Risk of confusion with keyword operator is not too scary after all.
* remove the cast operators in the Geometry module: they are replaced by constructors
and new operator= in Matrix
* extended the operations supported by Rotation2D
* rewrite in solveTriangular:
- merge the Upper and Lower specializations
- big optimization of the path for row-major triangular matrices
I don't see any reason not to allow it, it doesn't add much code, and
it makes porting from eigen1 easier.
*expand tests/basicstuff to first test coefficient access methods
* 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.
- added a MapBase base xpr on top of which Map and the specialization
of Block are implemented
- MapBase forces both aligned loads (and aligned stores, see below) in expressions
such as "x.block(...) += other_expr"
* Significant vectorization improvement:
- added a AlignedBit flag meaning the first coeff/packet is aligned,
this allows to not generate extra code to deal with the first unaligned part
- removed all unaligned stores when no unrolling
- removed unaligned loads in Sum when the input as the DirectAccessBit flag
* Some code simplification in CacheFriendly product
* Some minor documentation improvements
not allow to easily get the rank), fix a bug (which could have been
triggered by matrices having coefficients of very different
magnitudes).
Part: add an assert to prevent hard to find bugs
Swap: update comments
Note: in fact, inverse() always uses partial pivoting because the algo
currently used doesn't make sense with complete pivoting. No num
stability issue so far even with size 200x200. If there is any problem
we can of course reimplement inverse on top of LU.
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.
- added explicit enum to int conversion where needed
- if a function is not defined as declared and the return type is "tricky"
then the type must be typedefined somewhere. A "tricky return type" can be:
* a template class with a default parameter which depends on another template parameter
* a nested template class, or type of a nested template class
Renamed "MatrixBase::extract() const" to "MatrixBase::part() const"
* Renamed static functions identity, zero, ones, random with an upper case
first letter: Identity, Zero, Ones and Random.
Removed EulerAngles, addes typdefs for Quaternion and AngleAxis,
and added automatic conversions from Quaternion/AngleAxis to Matrix3 such that:
Matrix3f m = AngleAxisf(0.2,Vector3f::UnitX) * AngleAxisf(0.2,Vector3f::UnitY);
just works.
- remove all invertibility checking, will be redundant with LU
- general case: adapt to matrix storage order for better perf
- size 4 case: handle corner cases without falling back to gen case.
- rationalize with selectors instead of compile time if
- add C-style computeInverse()
* update inverse test.
* in snippets, default cout precision to 3 decimal places
* add some cmake module from kdelibs to support btl with cmake 2.4
