Eigen c++ cast double to long int?

Quick question:



consider this (wrong) casting from a double to a long int:



Eigen::VectorXd Price      = Map<VectorXd>(price, n);
double TickFactor = 1.0 / TickSize;
Eigen::VectorXi IntPrice = (Price * TickFactor).cast <long int> ();


which gives the following error (Eigen 3.3.5, g++ 7.3.0):



eigen/Eigen/src/Core/util/StaticAssert.h:33:40: error: static assertion failed: YOU_MIXED_DIFFERENT_NUMERIC_TYPES__YOU_NEED_TO_USE_THE_CAST_METHOD_OF_MATRIXBASE_TO_CAST_NUMERIC_TYPES_EXPLICITLY
#define EIGEN_STATIC_ASSERT(X,MSG) static_assert(X,#MSG);


Now, this compiles:



Eigen::VectorXi IntPrice   = (Price * TickFactor).cast <int> ();


here is my question. Does the line above allows for values of (Price * TickFactor) that are larger than the upper limit on a short int? --whatever that is on the current system, say 33K.

  • Have you tried it? Yes, it should, but why don't you make 33000. and then no need for a cast?

  • If you just say (Price * TickFactor) > 33000., (to have a double value), then there should not be a need for a cast. The code would compile without it (and be more precise)

    You need to store them as int64_t by replacing VectorXi by a typedef to Matrix<int64_t,Dynamic,1>.

    The cast in the first snippet is perfectly fine. You just can't assign the result to a VectorXi

This line



Eigen::VectorXi IntPrice   = (Price * TickFactor).cast <int> ();


is essentially equivalent to



Eigen::VectorXi IntPrice(Price.size());
for(Eigen::Index i=0; i<Price.size(); ++i)
IntPrice[i] = static_cast<int>(Price[i] * TickFactor;


Unless on your system short int and int are the same, you are limited to the size of int (not short int), and the behavior for overflows is (I think) undefined.



If you want 64bit integers, do as ggael suggested:



typedef Eigen::Matrix<int64_t,Dynamic,1> VectorXi64;

VectorXi64 IntPrice = (Price * TickFactor).cast<int64_t>();
