The comparisons have also SIMD instructions returning bool vector, this
future-proofs them. Also it isn't confusing anymore (a < b is true when
all are less or just one?).
Also updated all dependent classes to follow the change, such as Color
and Rectangle. Backwards compatibility for GCC 4.6 (with lack of support
for delegating constructors) will be done as non-constexpr constructor
using operator=().
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.
(De)normalization from/to [0, 1] for unsigned types and from/to [-1, 1]
for signed types. -1.0 is always denormalized to min+1.
Also updated some tests for Color, as they depended on previous
imprecise implementation.
Long-standing TODO, can be used for in-game mirrors etc. I give up with
shearing, as I think that it makes sense only in 2D and I can't find any
reasonable use case for that yet.
Removing of another <*stream> #include leads to more compilation time
saving, now from ~5:12 to ~4:55. Another compilation time improvements
will now be possible only by using Clang's modules, I don't know where
to optimize further (except for getting rid of <sstream> in tests).
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.
* "Rotation around [XYZ]" makes more sense than "[XYZ] axis rotation".
* This naming will appear in autocompletion.
* SceneGraph transformation methods will be named similarly
rotate[XYZ]() (because [xyz]Rotate() is weird even more).
