Overall architecture is simplififed with this change and also it's not
needed to use reinterpret_cast in matrix internals anymore, thus there
is no need for operator() and [][] works now always as expected without
any risk of GCC misoptimizations.
On the other side, constructing matrix from list of elements is not
possible anymore. You have to specify the elements as list of
column vectors, which might be less convenient to write, but it helps to
distinguish what is column and what is row:
Matrix<2, int> a(1, 2, // before
3, 4);
Matrix<2, int> a(Vector<2, int>(1, 2), // now
Vector<2, int>(3, 4));
For some matrix specializations (i.e. Matrix3 and Matrix4) it is
possible to use list-initialization instead of explicit type
specification:
Matrix<3, int>({1, 2, 3},
{4, 5, 6},
{7, 8, 9});
I didn't yet figure out how to properly implement the general
(constexpr) constructor to also take lists, so it's a bit ugly for now.
Matrix operations are now done column-wise, which should help with
future SIMD implementations, documentation is also updated accordingly.
I also removed forgotten remains of matrix/matrix operator*=(), which
can be confusing, as the multiplication is not commutative. Why it is
not present is explained in d9c900f076.
The stride was computed always for resulting GLSL type (e.g. vec4) even
if the data were of anoother type (e.g. std::uint8_t[4]). The code is
exceptionally ugly now, time to wrap it with unit tests.
Would cause weird issues with state, it's better to just not allow it
and follow KISS principle than trying to implementing it. Also
crosslinked required function calls in documentation.
It prevents unwanted implicit conversions from e.g. nullptr to Camera,
Vector2 to Physics::Point etc. By making all the constructors explicit
it is easier to routinely add the keyword to all new classes instead of
thinking about cases when to add and when not to.
Now whole Magnum, Magnum::SceneGraph and Magnum::Math namespaces are
fully documented -- each class has at least "getting started"
documentation, larger modules are documented on separate pages.
Optimalizations in Corrade::TestSuite and Corrade::Utility::Debug leaded
to significant reduction of compilation time - on my machine it was
~5:38 before with building of unit tests enabled, now only ~5:00.
* Normalization of e.g. color components passed as unsigned byte to
float values is possible.
* BGRA vector component ordering is possible.
* Proper type checking, allowing only GLSL-equivalent types to be used
as attributes.
* Reverted back to typedef'ing shader attributes, as type conversion
can now be specified in constructor.
* Instead of "binding attributes" the user now "adds vertex buffer". It
corresponds better with what OpenGL itself does.
* Vertex buffers now must be managed by the user.
* Shader attributes are now static const members instead of typedefs to
allow more convenient add*VertexBuffer*() calls.
