Hi, While implementing qHash() overloads for gui/math3d classes, I found that QQuaternion gained several methods for 5.5 which I don't like:
*EulerAngles(): They are missing a QEulerAngles class. Instead, they deal with (float, float, float) and QVector3D. One function even returns three floats as out- parameters. I think my (partial) work on QDate/Time has shown just how much compilers don't like out parameters. The question here is how general such a QEulerAngles class should be... *AxisAndAngle()/*Axes(): Same here, to a lesser extent. What bugs me most is the return-by-out- parameters, not so much that there's no QAxis3D class. There are several steps forward: - Create QEulerAngles as a float-only class - ditto, but as a template - ditto, but also add Q*Angle classes that have DEG/RAD hard-coded as template arguments, with explicit conversions between, then use that in QEulerAngles. [this likely won't happen for 5.5, though] - remove the methods in question for 5.5 and try again in 5.6 Any opinions about which ones to take?
