Replace usage of `std::numeric_limits<...>::min/max_exponent` in
codebase where possible. Also replaced some other `numeric_limits`
usages in affected tests with the `NumTraits` equivalent.
The previous MR !443 failed for c++03 due to lack of `constexpr`.
Because of this, we need to keep around the `std::numeric_limits`
version in enum expressions until the switch to c++11.
Fixes#2148

Fixes#2148
Armv8.2-a provides a native half-precision floating point (__fp16 aka.
float16_t). This patch introduces
* __fp16 as underlying type of Eigen::half if this type is available
* the packet types Packet4hf and Packet8hf representing float16x4_t and
float16x8_t respectively
* packet-math for the above packets with corresponding scalar type Eigen::half
The packet-math functionality has been implemented by Ashutosh Sharma
<ashutosh.sharma@amperecomputing.com>.
This closes#1940.
improve mixing type support in operations between arrays and scalars:
- 2 * ArrayXcf is now optimized in the sense that the integer 2 is properly promoted to a float instead of a complex<float> (fix a regression)
- 2.1 * ArrayXi is now forbiden (previously, 2.1 was converted to 2)
- This mechanism should be applicable to any custom scalar type, assuming NumTraits<T>::Literal is properly defined (it defaults to T)
- Dynamic is now an invalid value
- introduce a HugeCost constant to be used for runtime-cost values or arbitrarily huge cost
- add sanity checks for cost values: must be >=0 and not too large
This change provides several benefits:
- it fixes shortcoming is some cost computation where the Dynamic case was not properly handled.
- it simplifies cost computation logic, and should avoid future similar shortcomings.
- it allows to distinguish between different level of dynamic/huge/infinite cost
- it should enable further simplifications in the computation of costs (save compilation time)
Renamed meta_{true|false} to {true|false}_type, meta_if to conditional, is_same_type to is_same, un{ref|pointer|const} to remove_{reference|pointer|const} and makeconst to add_const.
Changed boolean type 'ret' member to 'value'.
Changed 'ret' members refering to types to 'type'.
Adapted all code occurences.
* Add short documentation for Array class
* Put all classes explicitly in Core module (where applicable)
* Section on Modules in Quick Reference Guide
* Put Page 7 after Page 6 in Contents :)
std::numeric_limits<T>::min() is the lowest *positive* normalized number
for floating point types.
This fixes the test failure for geo_alignedbox8 for me.
* Now completely generic so all standard integer types (like char...) are supported.
** add unit test for that (integer_types).
* NumTraits does no longer inherit numeric_limits
* All math functions are now templated
* Better guard (static asserts) against using certain math functions on integer types.
