introduce ei_is_diagonal to check for it
DiagonalCoeffs ---> Diagonal and allow Index to by Dynamic
-> add MatrixBase::diagonal(int) with unittest and doc
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)
* add Homogeneous expression for vector and set of vectors (aka matrix)
=> the next step will be to overload operator*
* add homogeneous normalization (again for vector and set of vectors)
* add a Replicate expression (with uni-directional replication
facilities)
=> for all of them I'll add examples once we agree on the API
* fix gcc-4.4 warnings
* rename reverse.cpp array_reverse.cpp
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.
* previous DiagonalMatrix expression is now DiagonalMatrixWrapper
* DiagonalMatrix class is now for storage
* add the DiagonalMatrixBase class to factorize code of the
two previous classes
* remove Scaling class (it is now a global function)
* add UniformScaling helper class
(don't use it directly, use the Scaling function)
* add the Scaling global function to simplify the creation
of scaling objects
There is still a lot to do, in particular about DiagonalProduct for which
the goal is to get rid of the "if()" in the coeff() function. At least
it is not worse than before ! Also need to uptade the tutorial and add more doc.
That means a lot of features which were available for sparse matrices
via the dense (and super slow) implemention are no longer available.
All features which make sense for sparse matrices (aka can be implemented efficiently) will be
implemented soon, but don't expect to see an API as rich as for the dense path.
Other changes:
* no block(), row(), col() anymore.
* instead use .innerVector() to get a col or row vector of a matrix.
* .segment(), start(), end() will be back soon, not sure for block()
* faster cwise product
* 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
* actually GCC 4.3.0 has a bug, "deprecated" placed at the end
of a function prototype doesn't have any effect, moving them to
the start of the function prototype makes it actually work!
* finish porting the cholesky unit-test to the new LLT/LDLT,
after the above fix revealed a deprecated warning
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.
* added a meta.cpp unit test
* EIGEN_TUNE_FOR_L2_CACHE_SIZE now represents L2 block size in Bytes (whence the ei_meta_sqrt...)
* added a CustomizeEigen.dox page
* added a TOC to QuickStartGuide.dox
