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?

tia,

alias real frReal;

struct frVector
{
	frReal x; frReal y; frReal z;
	
	void set(frReal xx, frReal yy, frReal zz) {
		x=xx; y=yy; z=zz;
	 }
	
	void set(frVector vv) {
		x=vv.x; y=vv.y; z=vv.z;
	 }
	
	frVector opNeg() {
		????????
	}
}

This is what you need.

	 }


frVector opNeg() {
frVector rtn;

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

return rtn;
}

}

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?
