Hi Michael, OK, I tried looking into the code... On 5/23/07, Michael Tegtmeyer <tegtmeye@eecis.udel.edu> wrote:
received some emails stating that there was interest. The implementation has been in the sandbox for some time now. I'd like to guage interest again to determine if it is worth working to add to boost.
Are you speaking figuratively here? I couldn't find it in the boost sandbox. I found a version in the vault, .1.1, dated 06.07.2006. Is this the latest?
The implementation is complete without any known bugs. There is only one header but you can go though the normal ./configure, make, make install to put it somewhere. Tests can be run using 'make check' and documentation is in the doc directory.
I tried using the .h file as-is in msvc 8.0 but got a bunch of compile errors on the test code provided in your e-mail. Maybe it doesn't make sense to do that, sorry I'm not too familiar with configure/make. I downsized the test code to where it did something pretty simple (declared a cvalarray using the default consructor and printed its values). Anything beyond that and errors come up.
If anyone has any interest, I'll put together some docs and throw it in the sandbox.
I am really interested, and would definitelly use this class if it was made available in a boost-friendly way. Actually, I've been looking for something like this for quite a while :-) Your class seems to provide a pretty complete set of features (if I could get past the compile errors :-)), at least as far as what I'm interested is concerned. The only thing I would see as a convenient addition would be constructors and setter functions of the form cvalarray<float,4> v1(1, 2, 3, 4); // v1 = {1, 2, 3, 4} v1.set(4, 3, 2, 1); // v1 = {4, 3, 2, 1} defined for sufficiently small array sizes (say smaller than UNROLL_LIMIT). But even without that, I think it's very useful! Stjepan
