Description Hauke Heibel 2011-02-24 15:34:46 UTC
Some resize functionality is currently located in PlainObjectBase. We should move that to DenseBase. 

The idea is to be able to write generic code and allow resizing on expressions. This would be a NOP in cases where the expressions already have the requested size.

We might want to discuss at some point whether it is the right approach to template over DenseBase<Derived> when an algorithm requires resizing.
Comment 1 Christoph Hertzberg 2014-11-03 15:46:13 UTC
Maybe I'm missing something, but DenseBase seems to have had resize functionality since its creation:

Comment 2 Christoph Hertzberg 2014-11-03 15:52:33 UTC
Ok, sorry for the hasty closing. I guess you intended to actually call
  derived()->resize(...) from DenseBase::resize(...)?
I'm not entirely against that, but we need to carefully avoid recursion where if Derived does not implement resize.
Comment 3 Gael Guennebaud 2014-11-04 00:56:42 UTC
I guess that the idea is rather to move the other variants of resize, i.e., the ones taking NoChange, conservativeResize, etc.
