Hi Hans,
I think operator* is already used to mean an elementwise product, just
as it is used for
blitz Arrays. So TinyVector * TinyVector yields a TinyVector whose
elements are the
product of the elements of the two original TinyVectors. That may seem
a bit strange,
but since there are both inner and outer products defined for vectors,
you really can't
use operator* to mean "product" in both senses anyway. That's why dot()
and product()
were introduced.
I don't have a good answer for your other question regarding debuggers.
Examining the
data_ member of a TinyVector is the correct way to see the element data.
I am not sure
what could be done to make this any easier. Let us know if you have a
suggestion.
Regards, Julian C.
