A static code analysis tool flagged this code in GeneralMatrixVector.h as problematic. https://bitbucket.org/eigen/eigen/src/cd5824eb9fb275e5b0edc8a7af95e8af85fe9231/Eigen/src/Core/products/GeneralMatrixVector.h?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#GeneralMatrixVector.h-186 Here is the code in question: const Index offset1 = (FirstAligned && alignmentStep==1?3:1); const Index offset3 = (FirstAligned && alignmentStep==1?1:3); What is the intent here? I believe this is parsed in the following way due to C operator precedence (http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/operator_precedence): const Index offset1 = (FirstAligned && alignmentStep==1)?3:1; const Index offset3 = (FirstAligned && alignmentStep==1)?1:3; But that's not entirely clear. The current use of () strikes me as actually misleading, implying the following: const Index offset1 = (FirstAligned && (alignmentStep==1?3:1)); const Index offset3 = (FirstAligned && (alignmentStep==1?1:3)); While the code in question may be technically correct, it can be made much easier to read and understand.
