Since `std::equal_to::operator()` is not a device function, it
fails on GPU. On my device, I seem to get a silent crash in the
kernel (no reported error, but the kernel does not complete).
Replacing this with a portable version enables comparisons on device.
Addresses #2292 - would need to be cherry-picked. The 3.3 branch
also requires adding `EIGEN_DEVICE_FUNC` in `BooleanRedux.h` to get
fully working.
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
We are potentially seeing some accuracy issues with these. Ideally we
would hand off to `float`, but that's not trivial with the current
setup.
We may want to consider adding `ppow<Packet>` and `HasPow`, so
implementations can more easily specialize this.
The new `generic_pow` implementation was failing for half/bfloat16 since
their construction from int/float is not `constexpr`. Modified
in `GenericPacketMathFunctions` to remove `constexpr`.
While adding tests for half/bfloat16, found other issues related to
implicit conversions.
Also needed to implement `numext::arg` for non-integer, non-complex,
non-float/double/long double types. These seem to be implicitly
converted to `std::complex<T>`, which then fails for half/bfloat16.
I ran some testing (comparing to `std::pow(double(x), double(y)))` for `x` in the set of all (positive) floats in the interval `[std::sqrt(std::numeric_limits<float>::min()), std::sqrt(std::numeric_limits<float>::max())]`, and `y` in `{2, sqrt(2), -sqrt(2)}` I get the following error statistics:
```
max_rel_error = 8.34405e-07
rms_rel_error = 2.76654e-07
```
If I widen the range to all normal float I see lower accuracy for arguments where the result is subnormal, e.g. for `y = sqrt(2)`:
```
max_rel_error = 0.666667
rms = 6.8727e-05
count = 1335165689
argmax = 2.56049e-32, 2.10195e-45 != 1.4013e-45
```
which seems reasonable, since these results are subnormals with only couple of significant bits left.
For these to exist we would need to define `_USE_MATH_DEFINES` before
`cmath` or `math.h` is first included. However, we don't
control the include order for projects outside Eigen, so even defining
the macro in `Eigen/Core` does not fix the issue for projects that
end up including `<cmath>` before Eigen does (explicitly or transitively).
To fix this, we define `EIGEN_LOG2E` and `EIGEN_LN2` ourselves.
