The old generator codebase was clearly not easy to work in at all and could be very confusing at times. The new generator codebase addresses all of those concerns.
The C and C++ APIs have been split for better usability, but unfortunately this does mean that you can no longer use both the C and C++ APIs in your project together.
Added any() and all() functions, which do the same thing as in HLSL.
Added the rest of the missing vector swizzle functions.
The previous implementation was poor and did not cover all possible permutations.
All arithmetic operator overloads now do their component-wise function.
Therefore, float4x4::operator* no longer performs matrix multiplication, but rather component-wise multiplication.
For matrix multiplication you will now have to call mul (or float4x4_mul in the C API, for example).
This was done for consistency across the API and to avoid a common pitfall.
Removed a bunch of maths functions that were redundant:
Removed component-wise functions in the C++ API when their operator counterparts existed (E.G.: caddv -> operator+). Use those instead.
translate(), rotate(), and scale() are now only for 4x4 matrices.
Matrices no longer have a constructor that takes an array of row-types.
Removed forward declarations for all functions because they were unnecessary.
Removed the doxygen-styling on all comments in the API because it was just ugly.
A lot of SSE functionality has been removed.
The SSE abstraction types (E.G.: float2_sse_t) have been removed due to causing aliasing.
Removed support for all SSE register types except __m128.
I suspect no-one needs any of the other types, but if you were then let me know.
A lot of the vector functions have been removed due to performance concerns and lack of practicality.
ALL of the matrix functions have been removed due to performance concerns.
A new, better API for matrices will be implemented at some point.
If you need any of the old functionality that was removed then let me know.
Removed macOS support for the generator.
I don't have a Mac, so I was basically writing a Mac generator only for a Travis VM. This isn't ideal.
If I can get access to a Mac at some point I will maybe sit down and write one then.
If someone else wants to go ahead and add Mac support for me (but ONLY if you have access to actual hardware!) then go ahead.
Re-wrote the tests to use Temper 2's parametric testing functionality.
There are now A LOT more tests running, whereas before we had around 1,000 tests in the C++ side we now have over 5,500.
ALL the things!
