Well, there are are bug reports asking for qHash(QPoint), so it seems to make 
sense to _someone_ :)

Esp. for types that don't have a natural total order (=most), and thus don't / 
shouldn't have operator<, adding a qHash() overload, as long as it can be done 
(it can't for QPointF) is the only way to enable associative containers of any 
kind for that type.

Thanks,
Marc

That's besides the point. Marc could have said "I've just noticed" and the 
rest of his arguments would still be valid.

Sure I wanted to do it via introducing QAngle (which is also useful for
many other classes, even outside math3d), but that's definitely a 6.0
material; and then there is no much sense in introducing it just for
QQuaternion.

Why are we doing this? a QHash makes very little sense me..

Of course

- do nothing

is an option, too, but clearly not the one that I'd prefer :)

[Development] QQuaternion issues with new 5.5 API

2015-04-24 Thread Marc Mutz
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?

Thanks,
Marc

It think it is a matter of no one having tried. Please do both.
