Detailed Description

Main CML header to include all CML functionality.

Todo:

load vectors, matrices, and quaternions from a stream.

Todo:

Move common vector and matrix class ops to a base class (requires SCOOP-like programming, see below).

Todo:

Implement matrix<>::orthogonalize().

Todo:

Add is_square<>, is_rectangular<>, etc. to make it easier to detect specific matrix types.

Todo:

Implement dedicated square matrix classes to get rid of duplicated code in the specialized matrix classes.

Todo:

Implement automatic temporary generation, along with expression node return types for mat-vec and mat-mat operators.

Todo:

switch to ssize_t instead of size_t to avoid having to explicitly deal with wrap-arounds to 2^32-1 when a size_t is subtracted from.

Todo:

Finish tests for mat-vec multiply.

Todo:

Differentiate between references used for function arguments, and those used for variable types. In particular, GCC 3.4 requires const T & function arguments to ensure complete unrolling/inlining of expressions.

Todo:

Specialize matrix multiplication based upon the size type (fixed or dynamic). This makes a difference for at least GCC 3.4.

Todo:

need a build system for the tests/ and examples/ directories.

Todo:

clean up the testing infrastructure, and make it easier to add new tests

Todo:

figure out if scalars should be passed by value or reference, or if it should be determined by traits

Todo:

change use of typename and class to be like Alexandrescu book

Todo:

figure out if it makes sense to unroll assignment if either the source expression or the target vector/matrix has a fixed size (right now, unrolling happens only if the target has a fixed size)

Todo:

Allow addition of new types, a la glommable ETs (but simpler). Can use ideas from "SCOOP" method: Nicolas Burrus, Alexandre Duret-Lutz, Thierry Géraud, David Lesage and Raphaël Poss. A Static C++ Object-Oriented Programming (SCOOP) Paradigm Mixing Benefits of Traditional OOP and Generic Programming.
