Re: [eigen] Call for survey questions

I think having some clarity on how unsupported is being used would be very useful. Perhaps check boxes for some of the high level features, and then free text for details/other components?

Thank you for the initiative. Following the previous discussion, I would suggest something like that:

C++ version

- today: 03, 11, 14, 17

- likely in 2021: 03, 11, 14, 17, 20

Compiler

- MSVC: <=2010, 2012, 2013, 2015,  >=2017, none

- GCC: <=4.8,4.9,5,6,7,>=8, none

- clang: <=4, 5, 6, >=7, none

- ICC: <=16, 17, 18, >=19, none

- XCode: <=8, 9, >=10, none

- others: text-field

What would you like the most:

- More frequent releases

- More & faster bug fixes

- Speed improvements

- More features, name one: text-field

Arch (check boxes): x86-64, ARM, CUDA, HIP, SYCL, MIPS, Altivec, VSX, ZVector

Hello together,

as discussed in another mail thread, this mail thread tries to gather questions that are suitable for a little survey among Eigen users and developers to find out how and with which tools Eigen is currently used and how and with which tools Eigen will be used in the future.

I think focussing on simple checkbox questions or questions that can be answered in one or two sentences is a good idea.

Cheers,
David
