I don't know why, but marking the output of copy constructor of any
subclass or output of conversion operator of any class as constexpr
causes MSVC to complain about non-constant expression.
Probably just another bug.
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.
Some classes are by default constructed zero-filled while other are set
to identity and the only way to to check this is to look into the
documentation. This changes the default constructor of all classes to
take an optional "tag" which acts as documentation about how the type is
constructed. Note that this result in no behavioral changes, just
ability to be more explicit when writing the code. Example:
// These two are equivalent
Quaternion q1;
Quaternion q2{Math::IdentityInit};
// These two are equivalent
Vector4 vec1;
Vector4 vec2{Math::ZeroInit};
Matrix4 a{Math::IdentityInit, 2}; // 2 on diagonal
Matrix4 b{Math::ZeroInit}; // all zero
This functionality was already present in some ugly form in Matrix,
Matrix3 and Matrix4 classes. It was long and ugly to write, so it is
now generalized into the new Math::IdentityInit and Math::ZeroInit tags,
the original Matrix::IdentityType, Matrix::Identity, Matrix::ZeroType
and Matrix::Zero are deprecated and will be removed in the future
release.
Math::Matrix<7, Int> m{Math::Matrix<7, Int>::Identity}; // before
Math::Matrix<7, Int> m{Math::IdentityInit}; // now
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.
Besides all the good things it is now possible to do even more insane
and useless constexpr-fu:
constexpr auto a = Math::Matrix3x3<Int>::fromDiagonal({1, 3, 2});
/* 7 0
0 7 */
constexpr Math::Matrix<a.diagonal()[2], Int> c(7);
Unlike Matrix3/Matrix4 these don't have any transformation-related
functions. Deprecated the old Matrix2 typedef, which is now replaced
with Matrix2x2 and will be removed in future release.
We would need to duplicate all the functionality found in Vector, which
I don't think is needed at all. If anyone needs to do this, it is
possible to "linearize" the matrix into long vector and do the
operations on it.
Also updated subclass operator implementation, added tests for it, both
for proper returned value and proper result type.
Also fixed unary RectangularMatrix::operator-() and Vector::operator-()
documentation (was stating that the operation is done in-place, which is
impossible.
First, removed functions which can be done with Vector's member
functions and functions from Functions.h. More flexibility and less
redundant code which leads to easier SIMD implementation later.
Vector4 a;
Float b = a.maxAbs(); // before
Float b = Math::abs(a).max(); // now
Second, removed all functions from RectangularMatrix which are
implemented in Vector and added conversion from RectangularMatrix to
Vector and back. Also for more flexibility and less redundant code (i.e.
reusing SIMD-optimized Vector::max() instead of writing it again).
Matrix4x3 a;
Float b = a.max(); // before
Float b = a.toVector().max(); // now
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.
