Compile problems on latest MacOS/trunk

Mon Oct 05, 2009 3:29 pm

Hi there,

Using the lastest development version of Eigen2 (from today morning) and compiling it on MacOS X 10.6 I obtain a nasty compile error. The reason is a different API of std::pow comparing MacOS and Linux. I insert the console output in here:

Core/StableNorm.h:
In member function ‘typename Eigen::NumTraits<typename
Eigen::ei_traits<T>::Scalar>::Real Eigen::MatrixBase<Derived>::blueNorm() const’:

This error does not appear on various Linux systems. It also works fine with the official release of Eigen, version 2.0.6

Thanks for listening and for supporting this library!

The problem is that GCC is confused because Mac provides only pow(int,int) and pow(double,double) and here one is trying to call pow(double,int). Gael: questions/comments: 1) isn't radix always just equal to 2? If yes, replace pow(radix,iexp) by 1<<iexp ? 2) The assertion at line 115 guards for something that isn't a memory error, and that is purely a platform check. Hence it should be moved to unit tests. Right? Join us on Eigen's IRC channel: #eigen on irc.freenode.net Have a serious interest in Eigen? Then join the mailing list!
