* several fixes (transpose, matrix product, etc...)
* Added a basic cholesky factorization
* Added a low level hybrid dense/sparse vector class
to help writing code involving intensive read/write
in a fixed vector. It is currently used to implement
the matrix product itself as well as in the Cholesky
factorization.
* 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
* 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.
=> 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...
might be twice faster fot small fixed size matrix
* added a sparse triangular solver (sparse version
of inverseProduct)
* various other improvements in the Sparse module
* added complete implementation of sparse matrix product
(with a little glue in Eigen/Core)
* added an exhaustive bench of sparse products including GMM++ and MTL4
=> Eigen outperforms in all transposed/density configurations !
* added some glue to Eigen/Core (SparseBit, ei_eval, Matrix)
* add two new sparse matrix types:
HashMatrix: based on std::map (for random writes)
LinkedVectorMatrix: array of linked vectors
(for outer coherent writes, e.g. to transpose a matrix)
* add a SparseSetter class to easily set/update any kind of matrices, e.g.:
{ SparseSetter<MatrixType,RandomAccessPattern> wrapper(mymatrix);
for (...) wrapper->coeffRef(rand(),rand()) = rand(); }
* automatic shallow copy for RValue
* and a lot of mess !
plus:
* remove the remaining ArrayBit related stuff
* don't use alloca in product for very large memory allocation
to "public:method()" i.e. reimplementing the generic method()
from MatrixBase.
improves compilation speed by 7%, reduces almost by half the call depth
of trivial functions, making gcc errors and application backtraces
nicer...
- uses the common "Compressed Column Storage" scheme
- supports every unary and binary operators with xpr template
assuming binaryOp(0,0) == 0 and unaryOp(0) = 0 (otherwise a sparse
matrix doesnot make sense)
- this is the first commit, so of course, there are still several shorcommings !
