I apologize for being late to the thread but I'd like to invite folks to take a look at cvalarray in the boost vault. I wrote this a few years ago and has been in active use in our organization for years now and I've seen it around the net-mostly in raytracing circles. (Actually, I've seen it referenced as boost::cvalarray because they obtained it from the vault) I basically accomplishes the "small fixed sized numeric array" requirement and can be used as base for small matrix class as well. There is an internal version here that also uses SIMD (intel) for the underlying operations. I asked for an interest check on the list many moons ago but I only seemed to get a lukewarm reception. In any case, it is complete, uses expression templates to eliminate temporaries, requires nothing outside of the language, is self-contained in one file, and is well tested. Unless there is heartburn with the interface or underlying implementation, It basically just needs to be boostified and integrated into the build system. Take a look and see if it either meets your needs or could be used as a jumping off point.

Looks useful to me - and a user base is the best indication that it is useful. - but I fear you are a victim of the search for Boost.Perfect_Matrix ;-) I doubt it exists. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal, UK LA8 8AB +44 1539 561830, mobile +44 7714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
