Description Tom 2012-09-05 03:58:16 UTC
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    Eigen::Vector2d v(1.0,2.0);
    double d = sqrt(v.transpose() * v);
}

This triggers an infinite recursion/stack overflow when sqrt and sqrt_default_impl call each other.

Easy to work around--e.g. sqrt(v.dot(v));

Copied from the call stack:

 	Eigen::internal::sqrt<Eigen::GeneralProduct<Eigen::Transpose<Eigen::Matrix<double,2,1,0,2,1> >,Eigen::Matrix<double,2,1,0,2,1>,3> >(const Eigen::GeneralProduct<Eigen::Transpose<Eigen::Matrix<double,2,1,0,2,1> >,Eigen::Matrix<double,2,1,0,2,1>,3> & x)  Line 447 + 0xf bytes	C++

I've no time at the moment to investigate, but this is probably the same issue as bug 314. However, it is more urgent to fix now that it's more than a theoretical problem.
Comment 2 Gael Guennebaud 2012-10-09 13:49:26 UTC
That's indeed the same issue.
