You might be interested in looking at blitz++ or tvmet. They both use expression templates to statically unroll various operators (for small sized vectors/matricies anyway). If I ever find a spare minute, I've always wanted to boostify one of those libs.
Boost also has a UBLAS impl. which has a matrix and vector class (although not static).
Hi Chris, I checked all of them and I found them way to complicated for what I have in mind. Let's assume we have an application with a graphical user interface, an object described by coordinates in three-dimensional space and we need to project that object onto a two-dimensional array of pixels; mathematically, that's a simple 3x2 matrix multiplication, most likely in integer arithmetic. Personally, the last thing I want to do is to include a full scale Algebraic Library into the user face just for such a simple task. What I want in such a case is a matrix class, that is as easy to use and as widely available as, let's say, the a complex numbers class. By the way, the test suite actually uses uBLAS to verify the results of the matrix operations. Not exactly a fool prove way, but for the time being I think it's OK. Andreas
