C++ operators in EDL

[qc.zackf]

Lets say I have a vec3 class and functions to go along with it:

Code: [Select]

vec3_get_length(vec3)
vec3_set(vec3, x, y, z)

//But what if I implemented the operators:
// vec3 '+' vec3
// vec3 '*' vec3
// vec3 '*' double
// double '*' vec3
// vec3 '*=' double
//etc.

//In EDL can I simply use:
vec3 v = vec3(0,0,0)

v *= 1.9999999;

// Or would I have to add the C++ operators to EDL, if so how would I accomplish this. Do I use cpp{ }?

R4 should handle operators. It basically just has to ignore them; it might not even check that the class has an overload for that operator.

"vec3 v;" will be legal in R4, which is the key.

This is pretty much the only legitimate use of operator overloading.
