I'm considering this library for use in a future project. Mainly in order to operate with C arrays as vectors. I try using it for a few minutes and got the following concerns, sorry if they were brought up already:
· Operators don't work unless boost::la namespace is bring into scope, couldn't ADL kick in?
No, ADL can not kick in because the overloads are in namespace boost::la and the user-defined types they are typically called with are in other namespaces. You can safely bring boost::la into scope globally, the overloads this will introduce will not clash with anything.
· Could swizzling 'placeholders' be placed on a different namespace, so I could write `using namespace boost::la::swizzling;` or similar.
This is a good idea. I am planning to separate the operator overloads in a different namespace from everything else, since the operator overloads are always safe to bring into scope with using, yet ADL doesn't work for them.
Everything else looks nice so far. Hope you continue working on it whether it gets into boost or not, its a really useful library!
Thanks, I am hoping to get some more feedback, then I think I'll do a what will probably be a very light refactoring. After that I'll request a review and we'll see. :) Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
