These names are so common, IMO they should not exist directly in the
`Eigen::` namespace. This prevents us from using the `last` or `all`
names for any parameters or local variables, otherwise spitting out
warnings about shadowing or hiding the global values. Many external
projects (and our own examples) also heavily use
```
using namespace Eigen;
```
which means these conflict with external libraries as well, e.g.
`std::fill(first,last,value)`.
It seems originally these were placed in a separate namespace
`Eigen::placeholders`, which has since been deprecated. I propose
to un-deprecate this, and restore the original locations.
These symbols are also imported into `Eigen::indexing`, which
additionally imports `fix` and `seq`. An alternative is to remove the
`placeholders` namespace and stick with `indexing`.
NOTE: this is an API-breaking change.
Fixes#2321.
Removed all configurations that explicitly test or set the c++ standard
flags. The only place the standard is now configured is at the top of
the main `CMakeLists.txt` file, which can easily be updated (e.g. if
we decide to move to c++14+). This can also be set via command-line using
```
> cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14
```
Kept the `EIGEN_TEST_CXX11` flag for now - that still controls whether to
build/run the `cxx11_*` tests. We will likely end up renaming these
tests and removing the `CXX11` subfolder.
The macro `__cplusplus` is not defined correctly in MSVC unless building
with the the `/Zc:__cplusplus` flag. Instead, it defines `_MSVC_LANG` to the
specified c++ standard version number.
Here we introduce `EIGEN_CPLUSPLUS` which will contain the c++ version
number both for MSVC and otherwise. This simplifies checks for supported
features.
Also replaced most instances of standard version checking via `__cplusplus`
with the existing `EIGEN_COMP_CXXVER` macro for better clarity.
Fixes: #2170
part of the class signature is lost due to a problem with forward
declarations. The problem is probably caused by doxygen bug #7689.
It is confirmed to be fixed in doxygen >= 1.8.19.
Note that HTTPS must be used against the MathJax CDN when hosted on `eigen.tuxfamily.org` (which uses HTTPS) in order to avoid `Mixed Content`-errors from browsers. Using HTTPS for MathJax also works if the Eigen docs are hosted on plain HTTP.
Some architectures have no convinient way to determine cache sizes at
runtime. Eigen's GEBP kernel falls back to default cache values in this
case which might not be correct in all situations.
This patch introduces three preprocessor directives
`EIGEN_DEFAULT_L1_CACHE_SIZE`
`EIGEN_DEFAULT_L2_CACHE_SIZE`
`EIGEN_DEFAULT_L3_CACHE_SIZE`
to give users the possibility to set these default values explicitly.
