Re: [eigen] Lots of failures on MSVC9

Gael,

I respectfully suggest that you should still support msvc9.  In python 2.7 on windows, that is the compiler that *must* be used for guaranteed compatibility.

I ran with a more stable computer with vc9 that wasn't throwing internal compiler errors, much the same result: http://manao.inria.fr/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=40088

3.3.2 seems to still be ok in vc9 for the things we are doing, so I guess we will stay there forever :(

Hi,

vc9 is not supported anymore and we already had a hard time making Eigen 3.3 ok with MSVC 2010. Given that vc9 is giving you ICE, I think it is hopeless to get Eigen 3.3 works with it again.

I ran the tests in visual studio 9, and had LOTS of failures: http://manao.inria.fr/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=40065

Some of the errors are caused by my compiler having internal problems, but I can confirm many other errors when I compile in vc9.  Let me see if I can find another computer with visual studio 9 with a more stable compiler.
