Re: [eigen] 3.0.4 coming soon, testing appreciated

[Ryan Pavlik <rpavlik@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My autobuilds on clang trunk for x86_64 and msvc 9 32-bit have been failing (clang rebuilding right now) - they're reporting to CDash. I have an autobuild set up on Windows for other compilers but they'll only fire if the msvc 9 32-bit succeeds, as a "smoke test".

Can you please retry?

The fix is very nontrivial so I would like to discuss it here.

We used to have 2 different ways of computing whether we statically
align types: one for the actual static alignment stuff in
DenseStorage.h, checking if the byte size is a multiple of 16 bytes,
and one for the AlignedBit flag computation in compute_matrix_flags in
XprHelper.h, checking if the Scalar type is vectorizable and if
Rows*Cols is a multiple of the vectorization packet size.

For example, when vectorization is disabled, Matrix4d is still
statically aligned (we need that to preserve the ABI) but its Flags do
not have the AlignedBit.

The bug you hit was because when I wrote the patch for bug 369, I
didn't realize that.

In addition, we were overloading operator new and delete both in
PlainObjectBase, and again in the child classes Matrix and Array.

All that should be fixed by above-mentioned changesets, but please
test and check if that change sounds OK.

Cheers,
Benoit
