so did Assimp get topped?

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:20 AM

yep

RRedhacker2 so did Assimp get topped?

Spider-Kyle•8/12/22, 12:20 AM

wdym?

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:20 AM

woah, by what?

RRedhacker2 woah, by what?

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:20 AM

there was a function in D2D1 with 16 pointer parameters

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:20 AM

oh dear god

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:20 AM

generated 2(2^16) overloads

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:20 AM

oh god

Spider-Kyle•8/12/22, 12:21 AM

speaking of pointers and unsafe code,do you plan on adding a way to use safe code while creating buffer objects?

Aqua•8/12/22, 12:21 AM

that is actually hilarious

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:21 AM

that makes ASSIMP look sane

SSpider-Kyle speaking of pointers and unsafe code,do you plan on adding a way to use safe cod...

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:21 AM

there's already a way

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:21 AM

but again the visibility is terrible

PPerksey there's already a way

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:21 AM

use safe overloads

PPerksey there's already a way

Spider-Kyle•8/12/22, 12:21 AM

then why is it not in the docs?

Spider-Kyle•8/12/22, 12:21 AM

or examples to be more precise

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:21 AM

because it's not the best use of silk maintainer time right now

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:22 AM

maintainer time is best spent on actually developing the library right now

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:22 AM

IMHO there should be 2 overloads for Silk.Net 3.0 per existing overload

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:22 AM

a safe and unsafe version

Aqua•8/12/22, 12:22 AM

I could work on the docs

Aqua•8/12/22, 12:22 AM

I keep meaning to sorry

Aqua•8/12/22, 12:22 AM

Just lazy

Spider-Kyle•8/12/22, 12:22 AM

you know,i would actually love to doc silk.net if i actually knew what 99% of the functions actually did

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:23 AM

use intellisense :P, oh wait, intellisense can actually crash your IDE when talking 12000 overloads

RRedhacker2 IMHO there should be 2 overloads for Silk.Net 3.0 per existing overload

Aqua•8/12/22, 12:23 AM

So have 24000 overloads for that one function now?

Aqua•8/12/22, 12:23 AM

Needs more

AAqua So have 24000 overloads for that one function now?

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:24 AM

ftr we don't expect anyone to document the generated functions

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:24 AM

2 overloads per function (with the original function overloads)

Aqua•8/12/22, 12:24 AM

Ah
Right

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:24 AM

Fully safe, fully unsafe no more

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:25 AM

the question is how should the safe stuff look

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:25 AM

like you could have multiple "safe" overloads

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:25 AM

which should you generate

Aqua•8/12/22, 12:26 AM

Only thing we need now is

using static Silk.NET.INSANITY;

public class MyClass {

    public void thing() {
        glGenBuffer(GL_VERTEX_BUFFER);
    }

}

using static Silk.NET.INSANITY;

public class MyClass {

    public void thing() {
        glGenBuffer(GL_VERTEX_BUFFER);
    }

}

Etc

Aqua•8/12/22, 12:26 AM

I screwed that up

RRedhacker2 the question is how should the safe stuff look

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:26 AM

well that's why i was thinking of the PointerLikePointerLike stuff

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:27 AM

one parameter type that multiple types implicitly convert to

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:27 AM

the main issue i can already see is ref lifetime though and implicit ref conversions

PPerksey well that's why i was thinking of the `PointerLike` stuff

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:27 AM

hmm

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:27 AM

interesting

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:27 AM

actually ref lifetimes would be easy

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:27 AM

but the implicit conversion of a ref to a type is i think impossible

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:27 AM

so it'd have to be new(ref x)new(ref x) instead of ref xref x

Aqua•8/12/22, 12:28 AM

Lifetimes? I thought that was only a rust thing

AAqua Lifetimes? I thought that was only a rust thing

Redhacker2OP•8/12/22, 12:28 AM

most certainly not

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:28 AM

rust is just the thing that makes lifetimes explicit

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:28 AM

you have implicit lifetimes in C#

Perksey•8/12/22, 12:28 AM

you also have scary things called "GC holes" as well

so did Assimp get topped?
