Re: [eigen] 3.2.10 released!

[Benoit Jacob <jacob.benoit.1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just a quick bit cheerleading, especially directed to Gael and Christoph: the quality of support that you're offering here is amazing, doing a Eigen 3.2.10 now is a great way to support users ahead of the upcoming 3.3 release, and supporting gcc 4.4 is already very generous already given it's 7.5 years old.

Thanks!!

Regarding GCC we do only claim to support version 4.4 and newer, so I agree that we should not waste time on that.

Thank you for the feedback, it's reassuring that it still works with
MSVC2010 (thanks to your efforts). Regarding gcc 4.1, I would not waste
time on it. It's really too old, and it always gave poor performance with
Eigen.

Thanks for the great work. I just tested the default branch with MSVC2010,
gcc 4.8.4, gcc 4.4.6 and gcc 4.1.2. Only gcc 4.1.2 fails:

Eigen/src/Core/util/Meta.h:410: error: no matching function for call to
Eigen::internal::scalar_constant_op<double>::operator()(long int, long
int) const
Eigen/src/Core/util/Meta.h:401: error: no matching function for call to
Eigen::internal::scalar_constant_op<double>::operator()(long int) const
Eigen/src/Core/util/Meta.h:392: error: no matching function for call to
Eigen::internal::scalar_identity_op<double>::operator()() const

I tried to fix it, but the obvious trivial fixes didn't work. I will have
to lookup how boost.mpl (or rather boost/type_traits/details/has:binary_operator.hpp)
does it. At least that is my current plan. I will try to post a patch with
a fix today.
