Summary0000524: math_Vector::Multiply(const Vector & v, const Matrix &m) broken
DescriptionThis bug has been added by Francois Petitjean

http://www.opencascade.org/forumorg/bug.php?bug_id=60&f=8 .



It seems that there are some typos in src/math/math_Vector.cxx.

Line 357 :
      Array(Index) = Array(Index) * Left.Array(K) * Right.Array(I, J);
and line 396
      Array(Index) = Array(Index) * Left.Array(K) * TRight.Array(J, I);
should have the effect of setting all Array values to 0.0 as per line 354/392
    Array(Index) = 0.0;

To address this issue, there are many possibilities:
1) modify the erroneous lines, for example:
      Array(Index) = Array(Index) + Left.Array(K) * Right.Array(I, J);
2) change the definition of
void math_Vector::Multiply(const math_Vector& Left,
   const math_Matrix& Right) {
   Multiply(Right, Left); }
to simply reuse another method already defined (and tested).
3) remove the two methods
void math_Vector::Multiply(const math_Vector& Left,
const math_Matrix& Right);
void math_Vector::TMultiply(const math_Vector& Left,
  const math_Matrix& TRight);
from the interface (.hxx) and implementation (.cxx) as they are buggy, so that
the code using it should break. This removes a bit of bloat.
  I am in favor of solution 3.

This begs the question of the quality assurance of a software package as large
as OpenCascade.The code should use the C++ namespace mechanism to fight the
proliferation of files in the include directory (impossible to cvsbrowse the inc
directory), for example
namespace occ {
namespace math {

class Vector {
....
};
inline void Vector::SomeMethod(...) { .. }
..
} // namespace math
} // namespace occ

in a occ/math/Vector.hpp file :
#include "occ/math/Vector.hpp"
and
    typedef occ::math::Vector math_Vector;
to get an almost compatible interface.

Use of the C++ standard library (STL containers, iterators..) would be nice.
