Hi,

This is a general question to do with efficiency of passing parameters
betwen functions.

I have a function that requires a number of vectors.

These vectors may be quite large in size so I thought about creating a
structure that holds the vectors and then passing a pointer to this structure
to the fuction that needs them.

How would this compare to passing references to each vector, probably 5-6
vectors needed, as parameters to the function?

I'd appreciate any opinions on these methods of parameter passing and other
methods.

Thanks In Advance
