It looks like we need to add the equivalent of MSVC's `/bigobj` on MinGW, [this CL](https://ceres-solver-review.googlesource.com/c/ceres-solver/+/21480) should do that. Please give it a try and report back if it fixes...

Good question, but given the classes that it is complaining about in the snippet above didn't change that much in the update to 2.1, my assumption would be yes, as...

From what I have read, this problem may be specifically for 64-bit builds, I don’t know how accurate that is though and I have never used MinGW On Wed, 4...

The parameter bounds specified in the Problem only relate to the domain of the solver's iterations, i.e. the solver will not directly evaluate a point `x` that lies outside of...

> Is it a good alternative to add a condition within my cost function like this: if(param[0] > T(0.005)) param[0] = T(0.005); if(param[0] < T(-0.005)) param[0] = T(-0.005); No. The...

@NikolausDemmel is right, a LocalParameterisation is another option but it would have a discontinuous derivative at the boundary, and that might produce some strange effects if the local minima the...

It's not high on my stack at the moment, as I'm not sure how heavily used this combination of features actually is - my suspicion is not very. I wouldn't...

Set GLOG_v=2 in the terminal prior to running the application, glog checks for environment variables matching the glog gflag names but prefixed with 'GLOG_'. You can also use SetVLOGLevel(), but...

Whilst it's true that they advise against this, it's also true that an _awful_ lot of people do exactly this, and they even provide an option: [`INSTALL_GTEST`](https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/main/CMakeLists.txt#L32) in their own...

@ojura what you are proposing as an obligation on Ceres is inconsistent with standard practice in other large OSS projects, and crucially would be inaccurate for commercial licensors of SuiteSparse....
