Was just wondering why UFCS only works in one direction, that is
why functions can be used as if it were part of a struct/class
but not the other way around.
struct Vec3
{
float x;
float y;
float z;
float dot(Vec3 o)
{
return x * o.x + y * o.y + z * o.z;
}
}
int dot;
Vec3 a, b;
float value = dot(a, b); // would be same as a.dot(b)
// doesn't try to use local "int dot"
It may not add as much value but I think it'd be a bit better as
now you no longer have a global function with a simple name
"dot". For mathematical purposes it is a lot easier to understand
"dot(a, b)" than "a.dot(b)", at least in my opinion. Just curious
that's all.
