Some info on Eigen and Orocos

For those that don't -yet) know, it is very unrecommended to put Eigen
types on RTT dataflow, as well as types that have fields that are Eigen
types and std::vector of such types. The reason is that Eigen has, by
default, memory alignment requirements that are pretty hard to robustly
enforce in the RTT dataflow.

There actually is a workaround to this problem: Eigen fixed-size
matrices have a template parameter that allow to force the use of
non-aligned memory storage. The good news are that:
* for small types (think of the common Vector3d, Vector4d,
Quaternion), there is no performance impact (actually, non-aligned
storage is slightly quicker in our tests)
* the conversion between aligned and non-aligned types is automatic

Unfortunately, there is no way to enforce non-alignment on Quaternion
and Transform3d types. However, Quaterniond is OK -- as there are no
vectorized instructions (yet). Transform3d is to be left out.

If you are asking yourself "well, I already do it and it is fine", think
again. It can come and bite you anytime. It is just unlikely on 64bit
machines as allocators tend to align on 8 byte boundaries already. But
it happens.

Interested people can have a look at

http://gitorious.org/rock-base/types/blobs/master/base/eigen.h

to see how to specify the flag.

How about using -DEIGEN_DONT_ALIGN during compilation?

Although -DEIGEN_DONT_ALIGN will do the trick, it may be overkill since it
affects all your Eigen data structures. Unaligned data is only required for
the dataflow-relevant structures. You probably want to preserve aligned data
for performing (vectorized) computations elsewhere in your code.

Moreover, as soon as you start using -DEIGEN_DONT_ALIGN (I think that's
the right definition, but anyway), you have to be *really* sure that all
libraries you are using are also compiled with that flag. Hardly robust
in my opinion

please, could you explain this? because, AFAIK Eigen is a pure template
library defined in the headers. So, if you use that define in a component, you
obj would be affected by that. But, I don't know if this will be affect in the
process to link against another library (eg. RTT).

Well. Let's assume you have two libraries, A and B. A is compiled with
DONT_ALIGN, B is not.

A creates an Eigen::Vector3d -- which is therefore not aligned -- and
passes it to B. Unfortunately, B requires its Eigen data structures to
be aligned. Boom.

Eigen isn't able to _recognized_ the non-aligned type and make the cast like
it does when you use the template parameter DontAlign ?

From what I saw, DONT_ALIGN really turns off alignment, it does not
change the default template parameter in Matrix. I guess this is
because, for some types, alignment cannot be turned off.

Take this with a grain of salt: it was a quick analysis we did on Eigen2
and we might have been wrong. Anyway, our experience in rock is that
having a separate type for "dataflow-friendly" types is a good option.
Especially tied with orogen, since orogen will generate an error if you
use the regular types on the dataflow (since it does not know about
them), while the non-align types pass fine.

Precision: cannot be turned off through template parameters

pler, help me clarifying one thing that I don't understand. For example, we
have two components. One component use eigen to calculate something, and
publish/send using a port of this type.

The other component connects to that port, because needs this type. The two
components are separated in compilation and link. Both uses, or corba or
mqueue or ros messages or whatever media provided by rtt to the communication
(we use components, no?) to send or receive data. This data, must be
serialized and deserialized to be send between components.

So, you are talking that in this step, typekit o whatever that uses RTT fails
when you send/receive data using eigen structures?

I don't "just use components". I write nice C++ libraries that get
integrated into Orocos components. That way, I am sure that I won't hit
a wall when the next "big integration framework" comes in.

There are multiple "parts" where this alignment thing kicks in:
1. shared library boundaries
2. component boundaries (properties, dataflow)

What I was discussing about DONT_ALIGN is 1. If you have two shared
libraries, one with DONT_ALIGN, one without, then passing eigen-enabled
types between these libraries is dangerous.

About 2. 2. is actually not so much about the transports, but about the
dataflow. Indeed, the dataflow *needs* to store (copy) the data samples
you send, and is therefore subject to alignment constraints. So, again,
you need all the libraries defining your task contexts to be compiled
with DONT_ALIGN. And, in effect, all the libraries that are used in the
libraries that define your task contexts (try saying that 10 times fast !).

In effect, the only way to be *really* sure that nothing will go wrong
is to compile *everything* with DONT_ALIGN. Not really a nice situation.

I have no experience with alignment tricks, but as long as we use the copy
constructor of the eigen types, and we use the new() operator to allocate
every instance in the data-flow code, shouldn't everything be fine then ?

I'd prefer to fix the dataflow code rather than to work around it.

Nope. The issue is that *any* type that is either an eigen type of size
a multiple of 16 or contains an eigen type whose size is a multiple of
16 needs to be aligned on 16 bytes boundaries. This includes
std::vector. Which is used for buffers.

Eigen has tricks to make std::vector align on 16bytes boundaries, but it
involves passing a custom allocator.

For god sake, do *not* touch the dafaflow to please eigen. RTT is
complex (and templated) enough as it is, and this is both a very special
case and an issue that need IMO to be resolved in Eigen itself. These
alignment requirements are very constraining, even in "normal" shared
library code.

So the constraints for RTT types become then
- default constructible
- copy constructor
- no alignment requirements

Less work for me. Fair enough.

Thank you!
This works (so far...)
FYI: what I tried
I first read the wiki of eigen and this thread: it always concerned
eigen types of FIXED size, but I use VectorXd, MatrixXd of a non-fixed
type, hence my posted problem.
I tried to put the "Dontalign" option in the initialization of my
vectors, comparable with what was proposed in the typedef in

http://gitorious.org/rock-base/types/blobs/master/base/eigen.h
but this didn't work either in my case.

According to the the above documentation, the EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW
macro is needed only if you use FIXED size. So, I'm curious how that solved
your problem?

Philippe

Some info on Eigen and Orocos

This is the exact problem that has been described in this thread.

I (and others) list some possible solutions, so I would suggest that you
read the thread first !

Best regards,

Some info on Eigen and Orocos

I agree that EIGEN_DONT_ALIGN is a cheap (but fast) solution and I do not
like it at all.

I had also issues of alignment of Eigen data (which is even more tricky on
QNX)
and the only solution was to force EIGEN_DONT_ALIGN for this platform.

I think, that the real solution for Quaternion is a patch to the Eigen
sources.

Thanks for spotting and explaining this issue!
