I'm porting over my linear algebra library from C++, and I have a bunch of functions that work on both scalars and vectors. The vector versions just apply the scalar function to every element of the vector, for example:
float clamp01(float x) { return x < 0 ? 0 : (x > 1 ? 1 : x); }
float[N] clamp01(size_t N)(float[N] vec)
{
float[N] result;
static foreach (i; 0 .. N)
result[i] = clamp01(vec[i]);
return result;
}
And this is great, I don't have to write the same function for different array lengths.
But I still have like 30-ish of these functions and I would like to generate the array overload automatically from the scalar overload.
So I would like something like a mixin, that I can use like this:
mixin Vectorize_Unary_Function!clamp01; // Generates the code above.
mixin Vectorize_Unary_Function!floor;
mixin Vectorize_Unary_Function!ceil;
...
It doesn't have to be a mixin like this. I don't really care what it is as long as it works :)
How could I do this?
