Description carsten.neff 2011-06-24 11:35:56 UTC 
currently it is not possible to access a sub matrix 
of a sparse matrix via .block().

Code to reproduce problem

Add an incomplete list of test cases which still fail with
their dense counterparts.

minimal example main.cpp file for sparse matrix block assignment

The bug is still active. I can not assign a part of a sparse block matrix with another sparse matrix (see MWE attached).
Comment 3 Krishna Kanth Nakka 2016-02-03 05:16:40 UTC 
Is this availble in the current version?

Code to reproduce problem

Hi werner,

Were u able to solve the problem of assigning sparse block matrices..
Comment 5 Gael Guennebaud 2016-02-03 14:06:18 UTC 
To make it clear:

For a column-major matrix, you can only write to col(), middleCols() and for a row-major matrix to row(),middleRows(). And in general innerVector() and innerVectors() are always writeable.
Comment 6 raffael casagrande 2016-04-19 16:11:39 UTC 
So are you saying that the block() routine will not be implemented for sparse matrices?
Btw. I noticed that also the topLeftCorner, topRightCorner(),... etc. functions fail for sparse matrices.
Comment 7 Gael Guennebaud 2016-04-25 14:36:08 UTC 
It will be implemented in the future as soon as someone step in to implement an efficient solution.
