Packages

LibTate's functionality is organized into “packages,” in a method similar to Java. To access particular functionality from within a package, simply include a “package header.”

List of all packages, alphabetically; functionality listed in order of appearance:

This package contains only the minimum core functionality.

include “tBase.h”

• Build - Resolves build macros
• Assert - Assertion service
• Types - Primitive types
• Tracking - Simple memory tracking service

This package encapsulates “program flow” structures.

include “tFlow.h”

• eventqueue - Event Queue
• statemachine - State Machine
• program - Program Definition
• programlist - Program List
• statemachineprogram - State Machine Program

This package contains “encoding” types, which encode data before storing it in memory. These would be considered equivalent to primitive types, and are used primarily for emulation or in communication protocols.

include “tEncodingTypes.h”

• Typical emulation types
  • endian - Endian types
  • ones - One's complement type
  • signmag - Sign-Magnitude type
  • bcd - Binary Coded Decimal type
• Additional encoding types
  • residue - Residue Type(?)

This package contains types related to “real” mathematics and alternatives to real mathematics. (Such as rational numbers.)

include “tRealMath.h”

• Real type functions – GLSL/HLSL inspired… Angle/Trig, Exponential, Common
  • mathfn - Math function definitions on reals
• tFloat32 alternatives…
  • fixed - Arbitrary sized fixed type
  • rational - Generic Rational number type a / b
  • logarithm - Logarithm Type
  • softfloat - Arbitrary sized float type

This package contains types and structures related to Linear Algebra, with a focus on operations in three dimensions.

include “tLinearAlgebra.h”

• Generic Linear Algebra based math types (some things inspired by GLSL/HLSL/Java Vecmath)
  • vector - Vector type
  • matrix - Matrix type
  • quaternion - Quaternion type
  • axisangle - Axis-angle type
• Specialized types (smaller matrices)
  • diagonalmatrix - Diagonal Matrix type
• Additional mathematic types
  • complex - Complex number a + bi
  • field - Field type
  • galois - Prime field type
