For some reason a lot of these got forgotten in
b2c353bf21. Also adding a comment
explaining the difference, because it's likely to stop being obvious few
months from now.
Using Containers::Pair allows me to make certain Range APIs constexpr
that weren't possible in C++11 before. Compared to std::pair it's also
trivially copyable, which is a nice property when storing it in various
growable containers.
As usual, the <Corrade/Containers/PairStl.h> include is in place to help
people with porting, although in many cases this change will be
breaking. I had to do it at some point anyway, so the earlier it is the
better.
Instead of defining the same types and vaguely risking little
differences. Typedefs that don't exist in Magnum.h (such as integer
quaternions) and typedefs that differ from Magnum.h (such as
using Vector<4, T> instead of Vector4<T>) stay as typedefs, to make it
clear what *deliberately* differs and what not.
Typedefs that didn't conflict with the template types in Math (such as
Vector3us) are removed entirely, as the typedef from Magnum.h can be
used directly in that case, without any `using`.
I did this back in 2010 because it "felt like the right thing to do",
given that all of Magnum depended on Math and not vice versa. But,
strictly speaking, Math already uses typedefs from Magnum/Types.h so why
it couldn't also bring in the Corrade namespace, and the
Debug/Warning/Error names too. Having to type out Corrade:: in all these
was really just a waste of time, weird inconsistency in docs and an
extra roadblock for whoever might want to contribute anything there.
It was implemented only for the Half type and not the others, and I just
felt like using it on a vector now, 12 years after the Vector class got
first added.
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.
Certain Clang-based IDEs (CLion) "emulate" a compiler by inheriting all
its defines, which means one gets __clang__ defined but also __GNUC__
set to 11 or whatever, breaking all these assumptions.
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.
Similarly as it is done in STL for C++14 literals, the user has to
explicitly put them to scope with `using` keyword to avoid accidental
collisions. If MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED is set, they are still brought to
the root namespace, but that will be removed in a future release.
Now works both ways. The base class works with virtually any combination
that is supported by the underlying types, so e.g. Dual<Matrix3<T>>
could be multiplied/divided with Vector3<T> (result is Vector3<T>), with
Matrix3<T> (result is Matrix3<T>) or with T (result is Matrix3<T>).
The macros, on the other hand, because they are there only to help with
implementation of *my* subclasses, restrict that to the two only cases I
need (i.e. multiplication with Dual<T> and Dual<T::Type> and nothing
else). Could be extended in the future if it needs to be.
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.
The only places where they aren't absolute are:
- when header is included from corresponding source file
- when including headers which are not part of final installation (e.g.
test-specific configuration, headers from Implementation/)
Everything what was in src/ is now in src/Corrade, everything from
src/Plugins is now in src/MagnumPlugins, everything from external/ is in
src/MagnumExternal. Added new CMakeLists.txt file and updated the other
ones for the moves, no other change was made. If MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED
is set, everything compiles and installs like previously except for the
plugins, which are now in MagnumPlugins and not in Magnum/Plugins.
As there is no Magnum::TypeTraits struct anymore, there is no need to
have redundant name in it. Hopefully Doxygen will handle the difference
between this and Corrade's TypeTraits.h properly.
