Test for sparse matrix range check

There is no range check for sparse matrices:

For a standard SparseMatrix<double, Dynamic> (row major format?), elements above the upper column limit can be inserted, e.g. an element in column 11 in a 10 x 10 sparse matrix. There is no error or exception thrown.

Inserting an entry above the row limit usually leads to a segmentation fault.

Both behaviors are demonstrated in the example code attached.
Comment 1 Christoph Hertzberg 2013-06-28 13:36:42 UTC
Indeed, this is not checked.
Another thing: Dynamic should not be a allowed as template parameter. Sparse matrices are always dynamic sized. 
Only valid options at the moment are ColMajor (default) and RowMajor.
Comment 2 Gael Guennebaud 2013-06-28 16:16:56 UTC
Both fixed for both matrices and vectors:
