This makes it possible to conveniently do things like
Containers::StridedArrayView1D<Float> array = …;
Vector4 vector{NoInit};
Utility::copy(array, vector); // or the other way around
which is especially useful together with the new JSON classes. In some
cases this means the function is no longer constexpr, but those weren't
constexpr because it was useful for anything, they were only because it
was possible. So this breakage shouldn't do any harm I think.
These shouldn't be needed (the newer classes such as Half or
CubicHermite don't have them and work fine), moreover Clang 12 is now
emitting the following warning for them:
Definition of implicit copy assignment operator for 'Foo' is
deprecated because it has a user-declared copy constructor
[-Wdeprecated-copy]
And update docs in Matrix[34]::rotation() and related functions to note
this. This is a breaking change that may cause existing code to start
asserting.
The old one is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.
Unfortunately, to avoid deprecation warnings, all use of NoInit in the
Math library temporarily have to be Magnum::NoInit This will be cleaned
up when the deprecated alias is removed.
It's a straight copy of the code for quaternions -- it could probably be
simplified a bit, but I don't have the necessary brain cells at the
moment. I tried the following but failed:
retun Complex::rotation(acos(cosAngle)*t)*normalizedA;
Useful for squeezing out last bits of performance, e.g. in this case:
Vector3 a;
a[0] = something++;
a[1] = something++;
a[2] = something++;
In the code all elements are first zeroed out and then overwritten
later, thus it might be good to avoid the zero-initialization:
Vector3 a{Math::NoInit};
a[0] = something++;
a[1] = something++;
a[2] = something++;
This will of course be more useful in far larger data types and arrays
of these.
