Hi
I have looked at Blitz and expression template based fast math. I am an end
user and here are my thoughts. Expression templates seem far too convoluted.
An important reason for using C++ is clean, readable and easy to develop
code. So it really seems to be the job of the compiler, or a "pre-compiler" to
do the proper efficiency steps. Suppose we introduce a layer in between
the compiler and the code. With plugin capability for the intermediate layer
that tells the compiler how to compile certain codes. Object oriented
compilation will help resolve. Hope all this isn't too far fetched.
