Dark GDK / 3D Vectors - Custom, Free Solutions, or DarkGDK?

I've been finding my own vector class a bit lacking. So as I'm designing my game engine (thinking in UML at the moment), the vector maths class issue came up.

Is the DarkGDK one good enough, or is it inefficient because I have to keep track of which vector ids are in use (I'd use a stack or vector + stack or something)?

Are there free solutions out there? Like an STL-type thing for 3D Vectors?


Thanks for all your input,

see D3DXVECTOR3
defined in d3dxmath.h, probably included in DarkGDK.h so no need to include it

Like Hassan said, use D3DXVECTOR3, all the other D3D structures are also available without needing to include anything because they are what DarkGDK uses anyway, I presume.

Yeah, use the DirectX vectors.
You can then also use functions like D3DXVec3Normalize, D3DXVec3Length, D3DXVec3Dot, ...
