I am looking for a sample code implementation on how to invert a 4x4 matrix. I know there is Gaussian eleminiation, LU decomposition, etc., but instead of looking at them in detail I am really just looking for the code to do this.
Language ideally C++, data is available in array of 16 floats in column-major order.
here:
bool gluInvertMatrix(const double m[16], double invOut[16])
{
double inv[16], det;
int i;
inv[0] = m[5] * m[10] * m[15] -
m[5] * m[11] * m[14] -
m[9] * m[6] * m[15] +
m[9] * m[7] * m[14] +
m[13] * m[6] * m[11] -
m[13] * m[7] * m[10];
inv[4] = -m[4] * m[10] * m[15] +
m[4] * m[11] * m[14] +
m[8] * m[6] * m[15] -
m[8] * m[7] * m[14] -

This was lifted from MESA implementation of the GLU library.
