Re: [Glsdk-devel] [GLm] api

[Mars_999 <ma...@si...>]

I haven't looked at the lib yet, but aren't we just going to work with floats all the time? 

glmVec2Sub
glmVec3Sub
glmVec4Sub

glmVec2Add
glmVec3Add
glmVec4Add

glmVec2Mul
glmVec2Div

glmVec2Norm
glmVec2Transf
glmVec3Cross
glmVec3Dot

I like that format...

  The GLM API seems at this moment to use two sets of naming styles. Compare these two for example:

  glmVecSub2f
  glmVecLength2f

  The first function is using a short form for the operation ('sub' as from 'substract') while the other is using long form. Should we simplify the API to look like this:

  glmVecSub2f
  glmVecLen2f

  Althought on the other hand, how do we shorten such stuff as Normalize, Transform, Identity, Inverse? This does not necessary look good:

  glmVecNorm
  glmVecTrans
  glmMatTrans
  glmMatInv
  glmMatIdent

  Is this even a big issue? Comments?

  If we decide to keep the API as it is now, I think we should lock it in and begin to outline the API reference for it. For later versions, I would like to implement such stuff as colors, quaternions and maybe planes and matrix stacks but this can wait. Bigger priority is to get the current version working and tested for.

  For Korval: I outlined some API ref in a plain text format. You may find it in 'docs/sdk_reference/glm-apiref' in the latest revision. You may use this as ideas for the DocBook API ref and this file needs to get removed once you migrate it into DocBook.
