Expand description
cayley is a crate for generic linear algebra. It aims to do everything stack-allocated
and constantly sized (though there are workarounds possible if dynamically sized
types are needed). cayley is named after Arthur Cayley, a prominent mathematician who
introduced matrix multiplication.
In addition to this, it aims to assume as little as possible
about the type over which its structures are generic. For example, you can construct
an identity matrix of any type that implements One, Zero and Copy, and you can multiply
matrices of different types A and B, so long as there exists a type C so that A * B = C
and C + C = C. In practice, of course, all numerical types meet these conditions.
Due to the nature of generic matrices, it’s necessary to use the #[feature(generic_const_exprs)]
feature; there is no other way to provide compile-time multiplicability or invertibility checks.
Structs
- The base Matrix struct.
Enums
- The following is some weird shit. This enum is generic over a boolean condition. It then only implements the IsTrue trait for
DimensionAssertion<true>, so that an assertion can be made within a function signature or an impl block.
Traits
- IsTrue is only ever implemented on
DimensionAssertion<true>. See its documentation for info on why this exists.
