[eigen] compilation error, 3.3rc2 and MS VS2013

[Bill Greene <w.h.greene@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have some code that compiles correctly with 3.2.9 but not with 3.3rc2.

I've managed to reproduce the problem with the following simple test:

typedef Eigen::MatrixXd DenseMat;

typedef Eigen::VectorXd Vector;

typedef Eigen::SparseMatrix<double> SparseMat;

void icTestSparseSimple()

{

  typedef Eigen::SparseQR<SparseMat, Eigen::COLAMDOrdering< SparseMat::Index >> SparseQR;

  const int n = 4;

  DenseMat a(n, n);

  a <<

    1, 0, 0, 0,

    -30, 60, -30, 0,

    0, -30, 60, -30,

    0, 0, -30, 30;

  SparseMat as = a.sparseView();

  SparseQR qr(as);

  cout << "R\n" << qr.matrixR() << endl;

  int rnk = qr.rank();

  cout << "rank=" << rnk << endl;

  auto R11 = qr.matrixR().topLeftCorner(rnk, rnk)..triangularView<Eigen::Upper>();

  cout << "R11\n" << R11 << endl;

}

I get many error messages complaining about the line starting with "auto R11".

I'm wondering if this code is "bad" for some reason and I was simply lucky

in 3.2.9 or if this is a problem with 3.3.

Thanks,
