Re: [Openexr-devel] OpenEXR 1.2.2 and Imath::TMatrix

[Drew Whitehouse]

Thanks for all the great code. Re TMatrix, it's quite useful to have in 
the library and I've used it in my code.. I hope it's going to come back 
in one day ? In fact all the non image specific code has been very useful.

BTW one thing that would be a useful extension to the current TMatrix 
code would be the ability to add custom memory allocators for the array 
data (like STL containers), so that other systems that require special 
memory layouts (like FFTW's aligned fftw_malloc) can work nicely with 
Imath arrays.
