How much of my math classes should I inline?
Author
The topic title says it all:
How much of my math classes (like Matrix, Vector, Quat, etc) should I inline?
Should I inline ALL of the functions, or only the simple ones? What is the point at which inlining a function becomes cumbersome?
When I wrote my math library, I inlined every function except complex ones. By 'complex ones', I mean functions such as a matrix inverse function, or a function to build a view or projection matrix (because they're called very infrequently).
However, if this is for a Direct3D project, and you're not doing this just for the fun of it, I'd recommend using the D3DX library, since it's highly optimized.

Yes i agree, use D3DX, its written for you :)
I would also like to add that the inline keyword is only suggestive. The compiler will choose how to implement ur code, but inlining it will tell the compiler how u would like it.

Thanks!
I'll keep that in mind. I'm actually using OpenGL, though, so no D3DX for meh.
Although I don't want to get into an argument with D3D coders -- OGL > D3D :P.

If you have a few $ to spend, the first game programming gems book has a math lib ( at least matrixes ) on the cd which wasn't bad, iirc.
