Output of trying to compile simple program.
I attached a file showing what happens when I try to compile an extremely simple "hello world" program with the flag -DEIGEN_ENABLE_AVX512 using both g++ and clang++:
#include <iostream>
#include <Eigen/Dense>
using Eigen::MatrixXd;
int main()
{
MatrixXd m(2,2);
m(0,0) = 3;
m(1,0) = 2.5;
m(0,1) = -1;
m(1,1) = m(1,0) + m(0,1);
std::cout << m << std::endl;
}
I chose the label "Core-vectorization" because (in examples that are actually vectorizable) DEIGEN_ENABLE_AVX512 is supposed to enable explicit vectorization, according the docs for Eigen 3.3: http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=3.3
They both run into the same errors. The program works as expected when not defining the macro.
The first couple lines of g++ errors:
