All types are enabled by default. Only `f32` and `bool` types are built-in.
All other types are optional and can be disabled if not needed for faster
compile times.

## SIMD

`glam` is built with SIMD in mind. Many `f32` types use 128-bit SIMD vector types for storage
and/or implementation. The use of SIMD generally enables better performance than using primitive
numeric types such as `f32`.

Some `glam` types use SIMD for storage meaning they are 16 byte aligned, these types include
`Mat2`, `Mat3A`, `Mat4`, `Quat`, `Vec3A`, `Vec4`, `Affine2` and `Affine3A`. Types
with an `A` suffix are a SIMD alternative to a scalar type, e.g. `Vec3` uses `f32` storage and
`Vec3A` uses SIMD storage.

When SIMD is not available on the target the types will maintain 16 byte alignment and internal
padding so that object sizes and layouts will not change between architectures. Scalar
math fallback implementations exist when SIMD is not available. It is intended to add support for
other SIMD architectures once they appear in stable Rust.

Currently only SSE2 on x86/x86_64, NEON on Aarch64, and simd128 on WASM are supported.

## Vec3A and Mat3A

`Vec3A` is a SIMD optimized version of the `Vec3` type, which due to 16 byte alignment results
in `Vec3A` containing 4 bytes of padding making it 16 bytes in size in total. `Mat3A` is composed
of three `Vec3A` columns.

| Type       | `f32` bytes | Align bytes | Size bytes | Padding |
|:-----------|------------:|------------:|-----------:|--------:|
|[`Vec3`]    |           12|            4|          12|        0|
|[`Vec3A`]   |           12|           16|          16|        4|
|[`Mat3`]    |           36|            4|          36|        0|
|[`Mat3A`]   |           36|           16|          48|       12|

`glam` treats [`Vec3`] as the default 3D vector type and [`Vec3A`] a special case for optimization.
When methods need to return a 3D vector they will generally return [`Vec3`].

There are [`From`] trait implementations for converting between [`Vec3`] and [`Vec3A`]. There is
also a [`Vec3A::from_vec4`] method for converting from [`Vec4`] to [`Vec3A`], discarding the `w`
element.

```
use glam::{Vec3, Vec3A, Vec4};

let v4 = Vec4::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0);

// Convert from `Vec4` to `Vec3A`, this is a no-op if SIMD is supported.
// We use an explicit method here instead of a From impl as data is lost in the conversion.
let v3a = Vec3A::from_vec4(v4);
assert_eq!(Vec3A::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0), v3a);

// Convert from `Vec3A` to `Vec3`.
let v3 = Vec3::from(v3a);
assert_eq!(Vec3::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0), v3);

// Convert from `Vec3` to `Vec3A`.
let v3a = Vec3A::from(v3);
assert_eq!(Vec3A::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0), v3a);
```

## Affine2, Affine3 and Affine3A

`Affine2`, `Affine3` and `Affine3A` are composed of a linear transform matrix and a vector
translation. They represent 2D and 3D affine transformations which are commonly used in games.

`Affine3` is composed from `Vec3` and `Mat3` whereas `Affine3A` is composed from `Mat3A` and
`Vec3A`. `Affine3A` will generally be faster but is 16 byte aligned and 64 bytes versus `Affine3`
which is 48 bytes.

The table below shows the performance advantage of `Affine2` over `Mat3A` and `Mat3A` over `Mat3`.

| operation          | `Mat3`      | `Mat3A`    | `Affine2`  |
|--------------------|-------------|------------|------------|
| inverse            | 11.4±0.09ns | 7.1±0.09ns | 5.4±0.06ns |
| mul self           | 10.5±0.04ns | 5.2±0.05ns | 4.0±0.05ns |
| transform point2   |  2.7±0.02ns | 2.7±0.03ns | 2.8±0.04ns |
| transform vector2  |  2.6±0.01ns | 2.6±0.03ns | 2.3±0.02ns |

Performance is much closer between `Mat4` and `Affine3A` with the affine type being faster to
invert.

| operation          | `Mat4`      | `Affine3A`  |
|--------------------|-------------|-------------|
| inverse            | 15.9±0.11ns | 10.8±0.06ns |
| mul self           |  7.3±0.05ns |  7.0±0.06ns |
| transform point3   |  3.6±0.02ns |  4.3±0.04ns |
| transform point3a  |  3.0±0.02ns |  3.0±0.04ns |
| transform vector3  |  4.1±0.02ns |  3.9±0.04ns |
| transform vector3a |  2.8±0.02ns |  2.8±0.02ns |

Benchmarks were taken on an Intel Core i7-4710HQ.

## Linear algebra conventions

`glam` interprets vectors as column matrices (also known as column vectors) meaning when
transforming a vector with a matrix the matrix goes on the left.

```
use glam::{Mat3, Vec3};
let m = Mat3::IDENTITY;
let x = Vec3::X;
let v = m * x;
assert_eq!(v, x);
```

Matrices are stored in memory in column-major order.

All angles are in radians. Rust provides the `f32::to_radians()` and `f64::to_radians()` methods to
convert from degrees.

## Camera

`glam` provides a [`camera`] module with view matrix (`look_at`, `look_to`) and
projection matrix (`perspective`, `orthographic`, `frustum`) constructors.

View functions transform world space points into Y-up view space. Choose [`camera::rh`] or
[`camera::lh`] based on your world space handedness.

Projection functions expect Y-up view space input with matching handedness. Within
each sub-module, constructors are available for common graphics API conventions,
including OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan, and WebGPU.

## Direct element access

Because some types may internally be implemented using SIMD types, direct access to vector elements
is supported by implementing the [`Deref`] and [`DerefMut`] traits.

```
use glam::Vec3A;
let mut v = Vec3A::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0);
assert_eq!(3.0, v.z);
v.z += 1.0;
assert_eq!(4.0, v.z);
```

[`Deref`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Deref.html
[`DerefMut`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.DerefMut.html

## glam assertions

`glam` does not enforce validity checks on method parameters at runtime. For example methods that
require normalized vectors as input such as `Quat::from_axis_angle(axis, angle)` will not check
that axis is a valid normalized vector. To help catch unintended misuse of `glam` the
`debug-glam-assert` or `glam-assert` features can be enabled to add checks to ensure that inputs
are valid.

## Vector swizzles

`glam` vector types have functions allowing elements of vectors to be reordered, this includes
creating a vector of a different size from the vectors elements.

The swizzle functions are implemented using traits to add them to each vector type. This is
primarily because there are a lot of swizzle functions which can obfuscate the other vector
functions in documentation and so on. The traits are [`Vec2Swizzles`], [`Vec3Swizzles`] and
[`Vec4Swizzles`].

Note that the [`Vec3Swizzles`] implementation for [`Vec3A`] will return a [`Vec3A`] for 3 element
swizzles, all other implementations will return [`Vec3`].

```
use glam::{swizzles::*, Vec2, Vec3, Vec3A, Vec4};

let v = Vec4::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0);

// Reverse elements of `v`, if SIMD is supported this will use a vector shuffle.
let wzyx = v.wzyx();
assert_eq!(Vec4::new(4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0), wzyx);

// Swizzle the yzw elements of `v` into a `Vec3`
let yzw = v.yzw();
assert_eq!(Vec3::new(2.0, 3.0, 4.0), yzw);

// To swizzle a `Vec4` into a `Vec3A` swizzle the `Vec4` first then convert to
// `Vec3A`. If SIMD is supported this will use a vector shuffle. The last
// element of the shuffled `Vec4` is ignored by the `Vec3A`.
let yzw = Vec3A::from_vec4(v.yzwx());
assert_eq!(Vec3A::new(2.0, 3.0, 4.0), yzw);

// You can swizzle from a `Vec4` to a `Vec2`
let xy = v.xy();
assert_eq!(Vec2::new(1.0, 2.0), xy);

// And back again
let yyxx = xy.yyxx();
assert_eq!(Vec4::new(2.0, 2.0, 1.0, 1.0), yyxx);
```

## SIMD and scalar consistency

`glam` types implement `serde` `Serialize` and `Deserialize` traits to ensure
that they will serialize and deserialize exactly the same whether or not
SIMD support is being used.

The SIMD versions implement the `core::fmt::Debug` and `core::fmt::Display`
traits so they print the same as the scalar version.

```
use glam::Vec4;
let a = Vec4::new(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0);
assert_eq!(format!("{}", a), "[1, 2, 3, 4]");
```
## Feature gates

* `std` - the default feature, has no dependencies.
* `all-types` - a default feature, enables `float-types`, `integer-types` and `size-types`
* `float-types` - enables `f64` types
* `integer-types` - enables `i8`, `i16`, `i32`, `i64`, `u8`, `u16`, `u32` and `u64` types
* `size-types` - enables `isize` and `usize` types
* `f64`, `i8`, `i16`, `i32`, `i64`, `isize`, `u8`, `u16`, `u32`, `u64`, `usize` - enables glam types
  for the given intrinsic type
* `nostd-libm` - uses `libm` math functions if `std` is not available
* `scalar-math` - disables SIMD support and uses native alignment for all types.
* `debug-glam-assert` - adds assertions in debug builds which check the validity of parameters
  passed to `glam` to help catch runtime errors.
* `glam-assert` - adds assertions to all builds which check the validity of parameters passed to
  `glam` to help catch runtime errors.
* `cuda` - forces `glam` types to match expected cuda alignment
* `core-simd` - enables SIMD support via the portable simd module. This is an unstable feature which
  requires a nightly Rust toolchain and `std` support.

## Optional dependencies

All `glam` dependencies are optional, however some are required for tests
and benchmarks.

Pre-1.0 dependencies that appear in `glam`'s public API use versioned feature names
(e.g. `rand-010`), so a new version can be added without a breaking change.

* `approx-05` - `approx` 0.5 traits and macros for approximate float comparisons.
* `arbitrary` - implementations of `Arbitrary` trait for all `glam` types.
* `bytemuck` - for casting into slices of bytes
* `encase-012` - `encase` 0.12 trait implementations for `glam` types.
* `encase-013` - `encase` 0.13 trait implementations for `glam` types.
* `float_eq` - traits and macros for comparing float types using various tolerances.
* `libm` - uses `libm` math functions instead of `std`
* `mint-05` - `mint` 0.5 for interoperating with other 3D math libraries.
* `rand-010` - `rand` 0.10 `Distribution` implementations for all `glam` types.
* `rkyv-08` - `rkyv` 0.8 `Archive`, `Serialize` and `Deserialize` implementations for all
  `glam` types, archiving to `glam::rkyv_08` types instead of the native type.
* `bytecheck` - enables `rkyv`'s archive validation; only has an effect when the `rkyv-08`
  feature is enabled
* `serde` - implementations of `Serialize` and `Deserialize` for all `glam`
  types. Note that serialization should work between builds of `glam` with and without SIMD enabled
* `speedy-08` - `speedy` 0.8 implementations of `Readable` and `Writable` for all
  `glam` types.
* `zerocopy-08` - `zerocopy` 0.8 implementations of zerocopy traits for safe transmutes.

## Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

The minimum supported version of Rust is `1.85.0`.

Raising the MSRV is treated as a non-breaking change, following Cargo's [semver guidance].

`glam` itself and all of its features are expected to build with the MSRV unless otherwise
documented. Optional dependencies are exempt, per Cargo's [support expectations]: they are not
required to build with `glam`'s MSRV, so a feature that enables one may require a newer toolchain
than `glam` itself.
