Hi Benoit,

I am running the test right now. I needed to add a few changes (see
attached main.cpp). Classical windows specific stuff.

I've looked at the diff between your file and mine, but it's very big because of many whitespace/style changes.
If you can send me a minimal diff, I'll happily apply it.

I also needed to change std::min<SizeType> to std::min<Index> in the
default branch.

I will let you know once the test finishes.

Regards,
Hauke
