Re: [eigen] STL Vectors and Alignment

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/eigen Archives ]

So that means if we have a class S with a hierarchy of classes composed in each other and 
the last one uses a fixed-size vectorizable type, for example

struct C{
    B a;
};
struct B{
    EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW  // <  IS THIS NEEDED? not really
    A a;
};
struct A{
    EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW
    Eigen::Vector2d a;
};

and we want to use S in an std::vector<S>

We need  :
#include<Eigen/StdVector>
std::vector<S, Eigen::aligned_allocator<S> >;


Is that correct? Isnt that really cumbersome? hm....

Thanks a lot!

For C++03 you need to

#include<Eigen/StdVector>

and then use

std::vector<A, Eigen::aligned_allocator<A> >;

It is explained here:

Btw, the non-HTML part of your mail is slightly broken.

*Dear all**,*

Through the documentation which is awesomely cool :-)
I could not figure out the following cases:

*First Case: *

*struct A{**
**    Eigen::Vector2d a;**
**};**
**
**std::vector<A> vec;*


THIS is obviously wrong because there are alignement issues, described
on the page.
Is it enough to fix it like this:

*struct A{**
******EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW**
**    Vector2d a;**
****
**};**
**std::vector<A> vec;*

Or is this going to fail alignment too*and I need something like this:*
*std::vector<  A  ,   Eigen::aligned_allocator<  A > >*

*Second Case: *

*struct B{**
**    A a;**
**};*
*struct A{*
**    EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW**
* **    Eigen::Vector2d a;**
**};**
**
**std::vector<B> vec;*

Or is this going to fail alignment too*and I need something like this:*
*std::vector< B  ,   Eigen::aligned_allocator<  B > >*




Thanks a lot for the quick reply =)!
