Numeric STL container valarray began life partially as an attempt to make C++ appealing to the supercomputing community. At the time the big thing in those big machines was, the ironically named, vector processing. However the valarray fell by the wayside as the people driving its development left the STL development group. Perhaps they realised that it didn’t really fit 100% with the STL, or maybe they just got sidetracked; who knows. But it is still useful, and here are a few reasons why:
So I’ve been playing around with valarray. It seemed that the best example to play with is that old classic the matrix. So here it is. Yes I know that there are some particularly hairy things wrong with it, but its not meant as a copy and paste solution. Its here as the results of a learning exercise and an example of what’s possible with valarray. There are one or two places which are not implemented or have not been tested, but you should be able to complete or test these by just looking at the rest of the examples. It should compile and run as is.
Have a look and have fun.

matrix2d interface
This is the template for the matrix class. Its not that fancy and there could
be a lot more added to it but that was not the point of the exercise. It is
also limited by the number of types supported by the underlying valarray data
container. From an OO point of view its really not that good either given
that a lot of the manipulation or generator methods really don't need to have
access directly to the data part of the construct. However on a practical
basis including those methods in this class provide small benefits in speed
and allow things to be a little more obvious. There are also problems in the
way that the generators return new matrix2d objects. But I've no intention to
fix them as this was just a learning exercise. I've tossed the implementation
of the methods into seperate compilation objects to make the interface cleaner
for inspection purposes. In keeping with the valarray perspective there is no
bounds checking anywhere - you have been warned.
