Flexible and fast pluggable math library?

So I''m just about finished with my container library, and I''ve started thinking about how i''m going to implement my math library, and I''ve decided to use a somewhat flexible module based approach, with support for different ways of accomplishing the results, swappable at run-time (modules optimised for 3dnow, sse, etc) While this sounds nice on paper, I realised today that virtualism requires that all the functions be non-inline... and the function call overhead is larger than the actual operation being performed. ugh. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has done anything like this before. For my intense number crunching code, I am thinking of using a strategy pattern to represent an algorithm, and the strategy uses all inlined specific function code. Sound good? And on a side note, does anyone know where I can find some in depth information on the 3dnow instructions? =============================================== Have I no control, is my soul not mine? Am I not just man, destiny defined? Never to be ruled, nor held to heel!
