Comment (by dbrake@…):

 Replying to [comment:14 chtz@…]:

 i checked out the eigen develop 3.3-beta1 code, and confirm that this
 issue is fixed, with no need for the min/max that John Maddock provided in
 comment 6.  comment 6 does still resolve the problem for min/max'ing with
 et_on not in the context of eigen.

 a workaround for me might consist of providing a compile-time configure
 option for my library for turning off the expression templates for
 Boost.Multiprecision.  if they are on, require a minimum version of eigen.
 otherwise, let it ride with any version 3.2 or later.  i have an m4 macro
 for autoconf which finds eigen (does eigen provide such a macro? i didn't
 find one), and the et_on/off requirement could be written into the call.

 any thoughts?
