Re: [boost] Review Request: QVM (generic Quaternion, Vector and Matrix operations library)

Me: Just #include this and use types called floatvec2 and floatmat2x2 and + and * just work.

​my cosmetic and artistic opinion about that: ​ ​with ublas, you can do that:​

​#include

​int main() { fixed_matrix m1;

m1 <<= 1,2,3 4,5,6, 7,8,9;

cout << m1 << endl; }

And personally, I find fixed_matrix to be easier to remember and more explicit to use than floatvec2 or dblmat2x2 or whatever else. And I don't have to look into the doc, if I can't remember if the matrix name was DblMat2x2 or double_mat2_2... or Matrix2D ? (no, it's not the same library).

QVM defines ready-to-use types as well: http://www.revergestudios.com/boost-qvm/quaternion_vector_and_matrix_types_r... qvm::vec v; qvm::mat m; As for the <<= syntactic sugar, I'd rather consider adding a support for C++11 std::initializer_list and/or variadic templates (if they were supported by the compiler): m { 1,2,3 4,5,6 7,8,9 }; That said, the user could implement such type by himself. He could also adapt fixed_matrix to the QVM matrix Concept and be able to e.g. calculate the transformation matrix. Of course assuming that both libraries could work well with each other.
