* EIGEN_ALIGN and EIGEN_DONT_ALIGN and the corresponding logic in Macros.h
(instead of using EIGEN_ARCH_WANTS_ALIGNMENT)
* The body of ei_aligned_malloc and ei_aligned_free
The reason for this backporting is that a user complained that with eigen 2.0 he got a warning at Memory.h:81 that the return value of posix_memalign was not used, and that function was declared with an attribute warn_unused_result.
Looking at this, it seemed that the body of this function was already overly complicated, and fixing this warning made it even worse, while the devel branch had a much simpler body and didn't suffer from that problem.
Then it was necessary to update ei_aligned_free too, and to backport EIGEN_ALIGN.
Inch' Allah....
Remove matrixL() and matrixU() methods: they were tricky, returning a Part,
and matrixL() was useless for non-square LU. Also they were untested. This is
the occasion to simplify the docs (class_LU.cpp) removing the most confusing part.
I think that it's better to let the user do his own cooking with Part's.
* try to be clever in matrix ctors and operator=: be lazy when we can, always allow
to copy rowvector into columnvector, check the template parameters,
try to factor the code better
* add missing copy ctor in UnalignedType
* fix bug in the traits of DiagonalProduct
* renaming: EIGEN_TUNE_FOR_CPU_CACHE_SIZE
* update the dox a little
ei_aligned_malloc now really behaves like a malloc
(untyped, doesn't call ctor)
ei_aligned_new is the typed variant calling ctor
EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW now takes the class name as parameter
(former solution still available and tested)
This plays much better with classes that already have base classes --
don't force the user to mess with multiple inheritance, which gave
much trouble with MSVC.
* Expand the unaligned assert dox page
* Minor fixes in the lazy evaluation dox page
* fixes for mistakes (especially in the cast() methods in Geometry) revealed by the new "mixing types" test
* dox love, including a section on coeff access in core and an overview in geometry
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.
* somehow the NICE_RANDOM stuff wasn't being used anymore and
tests were sometimes failing again. Fixed by #including Eigen/Array
instead of cherry-picking just Random.h.
* little fixes in the unaligned assert page
for this very nasty bug (unaligned member in dynamically allocated struct)
that our friends at Krita just encountered:
