<br>
Good, it seems to be fairly portable. I was surprised, last year (?),<br>
to learn that new compiler versions sometimes can't compile the code,<br>
but from the comments I received it seems that this is "normal" and<br>
happens for any advanced templated C++ code. It still seems strange to<br>
me, but I won't discuss C++ specifics.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> Compilation and unit tests makes it as stable as possible.<br>
<br>
</div>It looks good, but only if the unit tests are kept unchanged across<br>
successive versions (does Eigen 3.2 pass the unit tests of Eigen 3.0<br>
and 3.1?). The underlying question is how long will code written for<br>
Eigen 3.2 be usable with the latest maintained version of Eigen. I'd<br>
like to see a statement like the one by GSL people[1] on the Eigen<br>
website. I'll ask specific questions about that on the eigen<br>
mailing-list, and bring this info here.<br>
<br>
[1] "GSL is a mature library with a stable API. The main emphasis is<br>
on ensuring the stability of the existing functions, tidying up and<br>
fixing any bugs that are reported."<br>
