I read the OP question as one of fixing up function pointers. He also wanted a way of avoiding us…
I'm not sure we are talking about same things.
OP asked how to patch his C++ pointers in inherit…
Obviously you can do this in both directions, exposing code in the DLL to the engine and vice-versa
That's 21 line instead of 10. How that is far less code?

Just call the function directly, so 1 line.

And how you imagine using such functions with different return types?

Well for one thing, your functions can all have different parameter lists.

If you are prepared to use a little C++ this can be a lot simpler.

Would it pay to optimise the v2, v3 & v4 etc math to run with SSE?
Also there are several pla…

Thank you for your answers. I will check those links out.
