Sometime ago someone suggested that to make a vector that is located on 
stack instead of on heap one has to make it struct instead of class. I 
am trying it just now. The question is though, how to use operator 
overloading in such cases? Normally if it was a class I would new a 
return value, but here... hmmm... Can anyone write me an example of how 
to make add operator for two STRUCT vectors?

And if we had constructors for structs, it would be quite a bit more
elegant.

frVector opNeg() { return frVector(-x,-y,-z); }

But we don't.   :(

Yeah, that would be nice.  I've started doing this
but it's not as nice.

struct Vector
{
static Vector make(float x, float y, float z)
{
Vector rtn;

rtn.x = x;
rtn.y = y;
rtn.z = z;

return rtn;
}

Vector opNeg()
{
return Vector.make(-x,-y,-z);
}
}



struct Vector
{

}

I made frVector struct with static make function as quasi-constructor. 
Strangely for some time in the day the compiler didn't complain, but now 
(in the second half of the day) it does:

	// niby-konstruktor
	static frVector make(frReal xx, frReal yy, frReal zz){
		frVector result;
		result.x=xx; result.y=yy; result.z=zz;
		return result;
	}

	frVector opMul(frVector vv){
		return frVector.make(vv.x*x,vv.y*y,vv.z*z);
	}

gives:

"undefined identifier module frVector.make" error. I don't get it. Why 
did it work before?
