* 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
=> 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...
- conflicts with operator * overloads
- discard the use of ei_pdiv for interger
(g++ handles operators on __m128* types, this is why it worked)
- weird behavior of icc in fixed size Block() constructor complaining
the initializer of m_blockRows and m_blockCols were missing while
we are in fixed size (maybe this hide deeper problem since this is a
recent one, but icc gives only little feedback)
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.
* make Matrix2f (and similar) vectorized using linear path
* fix a couple of warnings and compilation issues with ICC and gcc 3.3/3.4
(cannot get Transform compiles with gcc 3.3/3.4, see the FIXME)
* use ProductReturnType<>::Type to get the correct Product xpr type
* Product is no longer instanciated for xpr types which are evaluated
* vectorization of "a.transpose() * b" for the normal product (small and fixed-size matrix)
* some cleanning
* removed ArrayBase
to optimize matrix-diag and diag-matrix products without
making Product over complicated.
* compilation fixes in Tridiagonalization and HessenbergDecomposition
in the case of 2x2 matrices.
* added an Orientation2D small class with similar interface than Quaternion
(used by Transform to handle 2D and 3D orientations seamlessly)
* added a couple of features in Transform.
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.
