compiles on both .net 7 and 8

MMaxine ```cs public struct Vector3<T> : IEquatable<Vector3<T>>, IEquatable<V...

tannergooding•10/21/23, 6:17 AM

I highly recommend defining an IVector<TSelf, T> to abstract away that huge list of interfaces and make it easier to work with

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 6:18 AM

that's all from the compiled IL :P

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 6:19 AM

the actual list, if all the proposal extensions are taken into account, is

public partial struct Vector3<T> : IEquatable<System.Numerics.Vector3>, INumber<Vector3<T>>, IVec3, IUtf8SpanFormattable
    where T : INumber<T>

public partial struct Vector3<T> : IEquatable<System.Numerics.Vector3>, INumber<Vector3<T>>, IVec3, IUtf8SpanFormattable
    where T : INumber<T>

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 6:19 AM

(IVec3 is a file-scoped interface for silly business)

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 6:21 AM

though, for implementing the other vectors, that would probably be a good idea

Aqua•10/21/23, 12:36 PM

when will 2.18 be pushed to nuget?

AAqua when will 2.18 be pushed to nuget?

Perksey•10/21/23, 5:15 PM

code signing did not survive the macOS CI transition, will be pushed this evening - still in bed atm

Aqua•10/21/23, 5:16 PM

ah ok

Perksey•10/21/23, 7:56 PM

thinking about it more, making a source generator where you can pick your own overload style will be super easy, barely an inconvenience

Perksey•10/21/23, 7:56 PM

i haven't once used the workspace-level mod functionality in silktouchx, in fact i'm actively working on disabling it by default

Perksey•10/21/23, 7:56 PM

which means we're basically just storing pure syntax

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 7:57 PM

my only concern is that it would complicate developing libraries that depend on silk

Perksey•10/21/23, 7:57 PM

so consider: we simply create an archive containing all the generated syntax, you install Silk.NETSilk.NET, and the source generator contains the same mod pipeline as in SilkTouchX

Perksey•10/21/23, 7:57 PM

i mean... yeah that's a valid concern

Perksey•10/21/23, 7:57 PM

idk how CsWin32 does this

Perksey•10/21/23, 7:57 PM

is sergio in here?

Perksey•10/21/23, 7:57 PM

it appears not

Perksey•10/21/23, 7:57 PM

bare with

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:00 PM

ok sergio is on the Eurasian plate so I will assume that he is winding down for the evening and will take a while to respond

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:00 PM

but it's a valid concern

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:04 PM

i suppose we could do MSBuild magic and have it as an MSBuild task instead of a source generator

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:05 PM

a Silk.NET.dll would be created at build time, all the prebuilt dependencies already referencing that, and each dependent containing metadata on the configuration needed to generate the source that goes into that DLL

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:06 PM

but that is no longer Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience

MMaxine my only concern is that it would complicate developing libraries that depend on ...

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:15 PM

it appears CsWin32 exposes an option to expose the bindings as public

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:15 PM

so i guess the idea is you make your own common package

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 8:15 PM

i hate that

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:15 PM

not really great if you want to make an ecosystem

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:15 PM

yeah

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:15 PM

like how would SilkCommunity work

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 8:16 PM

with sourcegen it seems unavoidable that you'd end up with tons of duplicate internal types

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:17 PM

the only other possible alternative i can think of is having a mega Silk.NET.dll that contains every possible combination of overloads and bindings, and then just generating a ref assembly on the fly so you don't see the ones you don't want

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 8:17 PM

that's horrible but also kinda great

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 8:17 PM

type forwarding?

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 8:17 PM

can we use that?

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:19 PM

don't need to, the assembly that roslyn uses would just be a shim or even just a cut down version of the big assembly

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:19 PM

and then once roslyn has read that, we swap it out for the full-fat one using MSBuild

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 8:19 PM

will it kill the CLR to have that many overloads?

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:19 PM

only if they're used

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 8:19 PM

hmmmmm

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 8:19 PM

yeah this seems kinda workable

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:21 PM

the user would have no idea that those other functions even exist, but they'll still be there for the libraries that do need them

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:21 PM

the only thing that'd be hell would be trimming times would go

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:21 PM

but thinking about it i don't think we'd even need a mega Silk.NET.dll for this

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:21 PM

we could just have it as standard in our packages, but dormant unless you turn it on
i.e. the default experience is you get the reference assemblies for Ptr etc, but you can configure it Not To Do That

MaxineOP•10/21/23, 8:22 PM

btw did you check the generic math proposal

Perksey•10/21/23, 8:23 PM

will do now

khitiara•10/21/23, 8:25 PM

first comment from me already is why does LengthSquared need a new type? requiring INumber is enough

khitiara•10/21/23, 8:25 PM

Id rename SquareRoot for consistency with existing symbols in the bcl

```cs public struct Vector3<T> : IEquatable<Vector3<T>>, IEquatable<Vector3>, ISpanFo
