[Ktechlab-devel] QMatrix - Random number generation

[Drew Noakes]

I think Zoltan was referring to the idea that operator overloading can be confusing for users of the code, and therefore create bugs in calling code even if the operators perform exactly as they were designed to.

Hence the suggestion to refactor the code so that explicit method names were used instead.

Could you be more specific?

I'm fairly confident that they aren't actually buggy, at least I'm not
tracking any bugs in either of those classes at present. The bug I
mentioned earlier in the week is in the LU decomposition engine.
