QVM: Quaternions, Vectors, Matrices

boost/qvm/quat_traits.hpp

This header defines the quat_traits template which can be specialized to register user-defined quaternion types into Boost QVM.

Synopsis:

#include <boost/qvm/quat_traits.hpp>

namespace boost
{
    namespace qvm
    {
        template <class T>
        struct is_quat
        {
            static bool const value=/*unspecified*/;
        };        
        
        template <class Q>
        struct quat_traits
        {
            /*main template members unspecified*/
        };
        
        /*
        User-defined (possibly partial) specializations:
        
        template <>
        struct quat_traits<Q>
        {
            typedef /*user-defined*/ scalar_type;        
        
            template <int I> static inline scalar_type read_element( Quaternion const & q );        
            template <int I> static inline scalar_type & write_element( Quaternion & q );        
        };
        */
    }
}
