<p>These are the possible bits which can be OR'ed to constitute the flags of a matrix or expression.</p>
<p>It is important to note that these flags are a purely compile-time notion. They are a compile-time property of an expression type, implemented as enum's. They are not stored in memory at runtime, and they do not incur any runtime overhead.</p>

<p>Short version: means the expression can be seen as 1D vector.</p>
<p>Long version: means that one can access the coefficients of this expression by coeff(int), and coeffRef(int) in the case of a lvalue expression. These index-based access methods are guaranteed to not have to do any runtime computation of a (row, col)-pair from the index, so that it is guaranteed that whenever it is available, index-based access is at least as fast as (row,col)-based access. Expressions for which that isn't possible don't have the LinearAccessBit.</p>
<p>If both PacketAccessBit and LinearAccessBit are set, then the packets of this expression can be accessed by packet(int), and writePacket(int) in the case of a lvalue expression.</p>
<p>Typically, all vector expressions have the LinearAccessBit, but there is one exception: Product expressions don't have it, because it would be troublesome for vectorization, even when the Product is a vector expression. Thus, vector Product expressions allow index-based coefficient access but not index-based packet access, so they don't have the LinearAccessBit. </p>

<p>Short version: means the expression might be vectorized</p>
<p>Long version: means that the coefficients can be handled by packets and start at a memory location whose alignment meets the requirements of the present CPU architecture for optimized packet access. In the fixed-size case, there is the additional condition that it be possible to access all the coefficients by packets (this implies the requirement that the size be a multiple of 16 bytes, and that any nontrivial strides don't break the alignment). In the dynamic-size case, there is no such condition on the total size and strides, so it might not be possible to access all coeffs by packets.</p>
