ive never used zig, my apologies

i think if/else can just be an expression

so var lib = if(.....

oh i meant to use staticlibrary

Lyris the Kitori

Lyris the Kitori•10/22/23, 11:48 PM

but yes, you can do

var lib = if(boolean) b.addStaticLibrary() else b.addSharedLibrary();

var lib = if(boolean) b.addStaticLibrary() else b.addSharedLibrary();

you'll have to manage to get it to install the latest one from the site

wondering whether it's worth adding a Silk.NET 2.X compatibility mod to SilkTouchX

Perksey

P

Perksey•10/23/23, 12:05 AM

i.e. make a mod that takes the ClangSharp output and hammers it until it looks like BuildTools output

Perksey

P

Perksey•10/23/23, 12:06 AM

at least then we'd have a maintainable generator

i think zig may not work so well with ios

Lyris the Kitori

Lyris the Kitori•10/23/23, 12:19 AM

thats probably just clang's libcxx

Lyris the Kitori

L

Lyris the Kitori•10/23/23, 12:19 AM

yeah you may have to just use the original build scripts for iOS

Lyris the Kitori

L

Lyris the Kitori•10/23/23, 12:20 AM

or use a custom libc file

nora

N

noraOP•10/23/23, 12:26 AM

should i build via cmake?

Lyris the Kitori

Lyris the Kitori•10/23/23, 12:38 AM

if you dont want to setup a custom libc file then yeah do that for iOS

do spirv-cross bindings generate with the [DllImport("__Internal")][DllImport("__Internal")] declarations like they do in sdl?

nora

or is that specific to sdl/vulkan

how would i implement this

Lyris the Kitori•10/23/23, 1:38 AM

you add an attribute

yes https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET/blob/6095c7126f09592bd742ec07508622665a5e2574/src/Windowing/Silk.NET.SDL/Sdl.cs#L14

is there any reason why StartProcessStartProcess is used in the swiftshader build system instead of InheritedShellInheritedShell

probably not

how do you generalize this shit to any N

Maxine

M

Maxine•10/23/23, 5:34 AM

okay, there's no cross product for a dimension other than 3 or 7

Perksey

The cross product is typically defined for three-dimensional vectors. It produces a vector that is orthogonal (perpendicular) to the two input vectors. The cross product is not naturally defined for vectors of arbitrary dimensions, and generalizing it to arbitrary dimensions is not straightforward. However, you can create a generalization called the "wedge product" or "exterior product," which is a concept from geometric algebra (also known as Clifford algebra) that works for vectors in n-dimensional spaces. The result of the wedge product is a multivector, which can represent different geometric entities depending on the dimension.

Here's how you can generalize the cross product to arbitrary dimensions using the wedge product:

Define your n-dimensional vectors: You have two vectors, A and B, both in an n-dimensional vector space, and they should have the same dimension.
Calculate the wedge product: The wedge product of A and B is represented as A ^ B (A wedge B). The result will be a multivector in the same n-dimensional space.
Interpret the result: The interpretation of the result depends on the dimension and the specific geometric algebra you are using:
- In 3D space, the wedge product reduces to the cross product, resulting in a vector that is perpendicular to both A and B.
- In 2D space, the wedge product yields a scalar value, which is essentially the cross product's equivalent in 2D.
- In higher dimensions, the result can represent more complex geometric entities, such as bivectors, trivectors, etc., which represent oriented planes, oriented volumes, etc.

The wedge product generalizes the concept of the cross product to arbitrary dimensions. It's important to note that the properties and interpretation of the wedge product can vary depending on the specific geometric algebra you're using. Additionally, the calculation of the wedge product can be quite involved, especially in higher dimensions, and may require specialized libraries or software that can handle multivectors.

Keep in mind that while the wedge product generalizes the cross product, it may not always have the same intuitive geometric interpretation as the 3D cross product. The interpretation will depend on the dimension of the space and the geometric algebra used.
