Just adding this recent blog post from Matt Pharr that talks about uniform float pseudo random num…
Thanks. Do you know of a good place to find Clang flag list with descriptions of what they do ? Ed…
Not sure if this adds anything than what’s been suggested, it’s a text editor (very basic) tha…
I'm aware only of clang's -Wdouble-promotion warning for this. Don't think others have any warning…
It will work fine in this case. It won't work fine if you have virtual methods - because that mean…
While I was testing a floating point to string function, I initialized a double variable with a fl…
So what will happen if I do base = derived; in clang? It's the first option. If Base has any paddi…
Which part? Relying on specific offsets? Yes.
You are correct, yes it is 16. Because clang decided to not have padding at end of base class. Wha…
Thank you for the suggestion! I had not heard of a structured buffer, so I may give that approach …
For some reason, clang said sizeof T is 16, or am I reading it incorrectly
It's the first option. If Base has any padding, the Derived type will include it's padding members…
I asked it because I was wondering what C++ inheritance is like? Does the derived class have a cla…

Okay, that project really is overwhelmingly large when just looking at it. I'm really wondering ho…
Imho, D3D11 is way better API. Look for D3D12 and Vulkan only if you are CPU bottlenecked for your…
