Description Phil 2014-04-18 02:33:50 UTC
A note should be added to the alignment notes regarding use of allocate_shared.

One needs to use allocate_shared with the eigen aligned allocator when making shared_ptr objects. Use of make_shared may result in alignment errors similar to not using the aligned new allocator.
Comment 1 Christoph Hertzberg 2014-11-02 17:20:21 UTC
Similar issues can arise with boost::bind.
We also have notes about alignment on lots of different places, maybe we should join them to one single place and reference from everywhere to that.

Partially, links to non-existing sites exist:
http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/TopicUnalignedArrayAssert.html
http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/UnalignedArrayAssert.html
These should be forwarded to an existing page (Maybe backporting bug 804 to 3.2 does the trick)

I've also fixed the broken links.
