* extend PartialRedux::cross() to any matrix sizes with automatic
vectorization when possible
* unit tests: add "geo_" prefix to all unit tests related to the
geometry module and start splitting the big "geometry.cpp" tests to
multiple smaller ones (also include new tests)
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.
- in matrix-matrix product, static assert on the two scalar types to be the same.
- Similarly in CwiseBinaryOp. POTENTIALLY CONTROVERSIAL: we don't allow anymore binary
ops to take two different scalar types. The functors that we defined take two args
of the same type anyway; also we still allow the return type to be different.
Again the reason is that different scalar types are incompatible with vectorization.
Better have the user realize explicitly what mixing different numeric types costs him
in terms of performance.
See comment in CwiseBinaryOp constructor.
- This allowed to fix a little mistake in test/regression.cpp, mixing float and double
- Remove redundant semicolon (;) after static asserts
* add some explanations in the typedefs page
* expand a bit the new QuickStartGuide. Some placeholders (not a pb since
it's not even yet linked to from other pages). The point I want to make is
that it's super important to have fully compilable short programs (even
with compile instructions for the first one) not just small snippets, at
least at the beginning. Let's start with examples of compilable programs.
- 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
=> up to 6 times faster !
* Added DirectAccessBit to Part
* Added an exemple of a cwise operator
* Renamed perpendicular() => someOrthogonal() (geometry module)
* Fix a weired bug in ei_constant_functor: the default copy constructor did not copy
the imaginary part when the single member of the class is a complex...
