compilation warnings on ubuntu with gcc

[tdhock]

hi @yixuan I just installed RSpectra from the source code on CRAN, and I see the following warnings from gcc-7.5.0. I also get these warnings using gcc-8.4.0. RSpectra-warnings.txt

There are a lot of warnings, here are just a few. They seem to be coming from RcppEigen so you may consider asking the RcppEigen (or Eigen) devs to fix these.

to be clear, RSpectra does successfully install, but typically it is good to edit your code to suppress such warnings.
