This was originally meant to be an interleave() that operates on
MeshData, but later I realized I need the same logic in duplicate(), so
turned it into a private function. Now I am pretty sure I'll be using
this function in *many* importer plugins :D
There's a lot to change with the current version -- the bloaty tuple,
the useless min/max, and compressing all the way down to 8 bits is not
desirable anymore either. The new function allows to specify a minimal
type to compress to and works also on 8- and 16-byte types, which makes
it possible to also inflate a smaller type into a larger one.
The old function is now deprecated.
And rename them to *InPlace(), since that's what they do. The original
STL variants are now deprecated wrappers over the new names. Not
adapting the test yet in order to test everything is alright.
The templated version had the unfortunate "feature" of not being able to
figure out the type when an array view or a C array got passed to it.
That led to worse-than-ideal UX and even though it's now a bit more
verbose on the implementation side, it's the preferred solution.
No matter how broken iOS is in CMake 3.6, $<CONFIG> seems to work there,
so reducing the amount of code and putting the configure into a single
place independently of what generator or what system/build is used.
Compared to current state it always adds Debug/configure.h instead of
putting it directly to the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}, but the
alternative would be some CMake branching again and I just removed that,
so no.
This also prepares everything for plugin libraries being put into a
central place -- the config files don't depend on their location
anymore.
Also move it to a new GenerateNormals.h header so we can easily add
generateSmoothNormals() to it. The old API and header is deprecated and
will be removed in the future. I can't be bothered rewriting the old
code using the new thing, so it's preserved there as a mausoleum until
it gets finally nuked from the orbit.
Provide a version taking StridedArrayView instead, taking an arbitrary
view and also arbitrary index type. Also introduce duplicateInto() which
doesn't even allocate, but rather writes the output to pre-existing
location.
