based on the former.
* opengl_demo: makes IcoSphere better (vertices are instanciated only once) and
removed the generation of a big geometry for the fancy spheres...
* add a WithAlignedOperatorNew class with overloaded operator new
* make Matrix (and Quaternion, Transform, Hyperplane, etc.) use it
if needed such that "*(new Vector4) = xpr" does not failed anymore.
* Please: make sure your classes having fixed size Eigen's vector
or matrice attributes inherit WithAlignedOperatorNew
* add a ei_new_allocator STL memory allocator to use with STL containers.
This allocator really calls operator new on your types (unlike GCC's
new_allocator). Example:
std::vector<Vector4f> data(10);
will segfault if the vectorization is enabled, instead use:
std::vector<Vector4f,ei_new_allocator<Vector4f> > data(10);
NOTE: you only have to worry if you deal with fixed-size matrix types
with "sizeof(matrix_type)%16==0"...
This allow code factorization and generic template specialization
of functions
* added any_rotation * {Translation,Scaling,Transform} products methods
* rewrite of the actually broken ToRoationMatrix helper class to
a global ei_toRotationMatrix function.
* replaced the Flags template parameter of Matrix by StorageOrder
and move it back to the 4th position such that we don't have to
worry about the two Max* template parameters
* extended EIGEN_USING_MATRIX_TYPEDEFS with the ei_* math functions
* 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
- 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
- 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.
which is even better optimized by the compiler.
* Quaternion no longer inherits MatrixBase. Instead it stores the coefficients
using a Matrix<> and provides only relevant methods.
as an argument of a function. Other possibilities for the name could be "end" or "matrix" ??
* various update in Quaternion, in particular I added a lot of FIXME about the API options,
these have to be discussed and fixed.
