Collection of one-file C/C++ libraries with no dependencies, primarily for games

I was just taking a look and couldn't help but notice the switch statement for your operator[], which likely causes a lot of unnecessary bad speculation at runtime:

I fixed this exact problem in a highly used library in high energy physics:

Many believe the C++ compiler will magically optimize the switch away, but in some cases, like the example above for CLHEP, it doesn't happen, so you end up with bad performance.

Since you left this "optimize me" comment here:

See an optimized quaternion multiplication implementation in SSE by me here:
