RcppEigen 0.3.3.4.0

A new minor release 0.3.3.4.0 of RcppEigen hit CRAN earlier today, and just went to Debian as well. It brings Eigen 3.3.4 to R.

Yixuan once again did the leg-work of bringing the most recent Eigen release in along with the small set of patches we have carried forward for a few years.

One additional and recent change was the accomodation of a recent CRAN Policy change to not allow gcc or clang to mess with diagnostic messages. A word of caution: this may make your compilation of packages uses RcppEigen very noisy so consider adding -Wno-ignored-attributes to the compiler flags added in your ~/.R/Makevars.

The complete NEWS file entry follows.

Changes in RcppEigen version 0.3.3.4.0 (2018-02-05)

• Updated to version 3.3.4 of Eigen (Yixuan in #49)

• Also carried over on new upstream (Yixuan, addressing #48)

• As before, condition long long use on C++11.

• Pragmas for g++ & clang to suppress diagnostics messages are disabled per CRAN Policy; use -Wno-ignored-attributes to quieten.

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the most recent release.
