Discussions
Discussion on possible features, future developments, design or achitectural problems, etc.
- Build environment
- Support MinGW compiler
- Build tests with Linux environment
- Support code coverage
- Support on Windows environment
- Support on Linux environment
- Add portability test on component
- Compile library with different compiler and check if they works propertly
- How to automate build and tests? Possibly with travis?
- One problem for current implementation (v1) is that we cannot do a test with high and low precision floating point numbers because the precision is controlled by compiler level constants.
- In order to resolve this, all the functions defined need to be templated. However this is not acceptable in terms of implementation.
- Experiments with changing precision is not feasible.
- Math library
- Use policy-based design to select optimized or non-optimized version
- Try to use user defined literals for representing internal floating point type (Math::Float)
- Handling of command line arguments
- Testing
- Unittest of math library is not sufficient
- Portability test
- Create each component with different compiler, and try to run tests with various combinations
- Performance test
- Statistics test
- Program options
- Seprate scene specic options and framework specific options
- Make modifiable with replacable template
- This is useful for experiment with various sets of parameters
- Object system
- Portable property representation
- Directly convertable from hierarchies in scene file
- Serialization support
- Makes it possible to print intermediate states, useful for verification or debugging.
- Scene description
- Possibility to integrate string template
- Include another file
- Binary support
- Show defined macros in the startup
- Write an article on how to make things portable
- Remove indices in the interface definition of the component using constexpr counter
