that eigen2 owes all its performance to nonstandard restrict keyword.
well, this can also improve portability in case some compiler doesn't have __restrict.
Until now, the user had to edit the source code to do that.
Internally, add EIGEN_ALIGN that takes into account both EIGEN_DONT_ALIGN.and
EIGEN_ARCH_WANTS_ALIGNMENT. From now on, only EIGEN_ALIGN should be used to
test whether we want to align.
disable them (-DEIGEN_FAST_MATH=0)
* add a specialization of MatrixBase::operator*(RealScalar) for fast
"matrix of complex" times scalar products (even more useful for
autodiff scalar types)
DiagonalCoeffs. The current API is simply:
m.diagonal<1>() => 1st super diagonal
m.diagonal<-2>() => the 2nd sub diagonal
I'll add a code snippet once we agree on this API.
This should remove most portability issues to other platforms where data alignment issues (including
overloading operator new and new[]) can be tricky, and where data alignment is not needed in the first place.
* 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
order, one bit for enabling/disabling auto-alignment. If you want to
disable, do:
Matrix<float,4,1,Matrix_DontAlign>
The Matrix_ prefix is the only way I can see to avoid
ambiguity/pollution. The old RowMajor, ColMajor constants are
deprecated, remain for now.
* this prompted several improvements in matrix_storage. ei_aligned_array
renamed to ei_matrix_array and moved there. The %16==0 tests are now
much more centralized in 1 place there.
* unalignedassert test: updated
* update FindEigen2.cmake from KDElibs
* determinant test: use VERIFY_IS_APPROX to fix false positives; add
testing of 1 big matrix
* 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
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.
