Re: [eigen] combine matrix blocks

[Gael Guennebaud <gael.guennebaud@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't really get it, but it seems you want to add a MatrixBase member returning an IndirectView. Then the correct way to write it is:

template<typename Derived>
class MatrixBase : ......
{
 // ......

  template<typename A, typename B>
  IndirectView<Derived,A,B> view(const A& a, const B& b) { return  IndirectView<Derived,A,B>(derived(), a, b); }

};

Does that help ?

Also in your code you are mixing IndirectView and MatrixView, but I guess that's just a copy paste typo.

Hello,

sorry for the very long delay, I could not find the time to continue the work on my project with Eigen.

The matrix view/proxy works quite well (addressing of elements via two lists of indices). I only have still one problem. I want to hide the creation of a 

matrixview object within a member:

MatrixView<MatrixXd,Dynamic,Dynamic> getView(){

return m_matrix(range1,range2);

}

But it seems that this does not work .. for instance cout<<getView() 

gives me an exception in malloc.

Do you have any idea what could go wrong? 

Thank you very much!

Best,

Stefan
