This pull request is an example of building against EigenPy to expose Eigen objects with custom numeric types from C++. This is in response to #365.

This example at time of PR builds and installs, but not fully correctly. It doesn't install usable Python bindings, so the example Python code is not runnable. Maybe you could do that last step? So that the built bindings can actually be used in Python?

Thanks @ofloveandhate for the PR. I will make a pass on it when I have time in order to align it with the rest of the project. Is it fine for you?

I tried to use the code in this PR, and it doesn't install correctly on my Mac. I observe the following issues:

  • I needed to change line 3 in CMakeLists.txt to cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
  • The built library, when installed, has extension .dylib instead of .so
  • The build library's name starts with lib, but it needs to just start with the actual name of the library.
  • If imported, I get missing symbols:
import libeigenpy_example_custom_numeric_type

ImportError: dlopen(/usr/local/lib/libeigenpy_example_custom_numeric_type.so, 0x0002): symbol not found in flat namespace '_EIGENPY_ARRAY_API'

I think all of these are issues with the CMakeLists.txt file.

I would love to be able to build upon this to work on some problems I'm seeing with custom numeric types in EigenPy, and make this example more complete, but I am finding the setup stuff is a barrier. Thanks!

now makes a library without `lib` at front, and with `.so` at the end.  I was able to get this to compile and import using libraries installed via `conda`.
* brought in the real visitor from stack-of-tasks#365 (from which I had previously derived the complex visitor).
* provided the `real` and `imag` properties

the code could be cleaner, but now I can actually import the built library, make a complex, get its real/imag parts, do arithmetic, and use dot-tab completion in ipython without crashes.

(motivation: i'm working towards a MWE for the alignment issues I get in Bertini 2.  either I can replicate it using this code, in which case we can find the bug / whatever in eigenpy, or I fail, and I reveal the bug in MY code.)
