inlineconstexpr |
Linearly interpolated step from 'lo' to 'hi'.
Returns x where (0 <= x <= 1). Similar to AiFilterStep() but slightly different mode of calling
|
inlineconstexpr |
RenderMan's smoothstep() function.
Returns 0 if (t < e0) or 1 if (t > e1) or a hermitian interpolation for (e0 < t < e1)
|
inline |
This function can be used to go between different interpretations of the same bits.
A common use case is to operate on the bits of a float as if they were an int. This should be a safe way to re-interpret bits. The alternative method of casting the address causes pointer aliasing and the results are undefined by the language. Some compilers, such as gcc, will warn about this when using -Wall and the resulting code can result in hard to debug bugs.
