Efficient spawn table creation using STL

std::vector<vector3> spawn_table;

for( int i=0; i<level.getSpawnCount(); ++i )
{
    spawn_table.push_back( *( new vector3() ) );

    spawn_table.back() = level.getSpawn( i );
}

Angles greater than 114.59 degrees can't possibly be of any practical use

__forceinline float tan(float a) 
{ 
 return ::tanf(clamp(a, (-1.0f + FUZZY_EPSILON), (1.0f - FUZZY_EPSILON))); 
}

__forceinline double tan(double a) 
{ 
 return ::tan(clamp(a, (-1.0 + FUZZY_EPSILON), (1.0 - FUZZY_EPSILON))); 
}

We've had this in our code base since 2005 and have shipped 3 games on it, solid!
