Description Clark 2012-10-20 06:52:36 UTC
The following code produces a segfault on the call to sqrt(D):


// Linear algebra library eigen http://eigen.tuxfamily.org
#include <Eigen/Dense>
#include <Eigen/Cholesky>

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main( )  // return L where L*L'=A
{
    Eigen::MatrixXd P(2,2);
    P << 2.0, 1.0, 
         1.0, 3.0;
    
    cerr << "   BEGIN Eigen::LDLT(P)" << endl;
    // LDLT handles semidefinite matrices, unlike LLT
    Eigen::LDLT<Eigen::MatrixXd> cholesky(P);
    cerr << "   END   Eigen::LDLT(P)" << endl; 
    cerr << "   BEGIN Eigen::MatrixXd L(cholesky.matrixL());" << endl;
    Eigen::MatrixXd L(cholesky.matrixL());
    cerr << "   END   Eigen::MatrixXd L(cholesky.matrixL());" << endl;
    cerr << "   BEGIN Eigen::VectorXd D(cholesky.vectorD());" << endl;
    Eigen::VectorXd D(cholesky.vectorD());
    cerr << "   END   Eigen::VectorXd D(cholesky.vectorD());" << endl;
    cerr << "   BEGIN sqrt(D)" << endl;
    Eigen::VectorXd Dsr = sqrt(D); // !!!!SEGFAULT HAPPENS HERE!!!!
    cerr << "   END   sqrt(D)" << endl;
    Eigen::MatrixXd Psr = cholesky.transpositionsP().transpose() * L * Dsr.asDiagonal();            

    return 0;
}
Comment 1 Gael Guennebaud 2012-10-24 10:26:46 UTC
This should not compile at all, we are fixing this issue. Please use:

D.cwiseSqrt() or D.array().sqrt()
