* replaced the Flags template parameter of Matrix by StorageOrder
and move it back to the 4th position such that we don't have to
worry about the two Max* template parameters
* extended EIGEN_USING_MATRIX_TYPEDEFS with the ei_* math functions
* add some explanations in the typedefs page
* expand a bit the new QuickStartGuide. Some placeholders (not a pb since
it's not even yet linked to from other pages). The point I want to make is
that it's super important to have fully compilable short programs (even
with compile instructions for the first one) not just small snippets, at
least at the beginning. Let's start with examples of compilable programs.
* 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.
