# Objective Closes #14474 Previously, the `libm` feature of bevy_math would just pass the same feature flag down to glam. However, bevy_math itself had many uses of floating-point arithmetic with unspecified precision. For example, `f32::sin_cos` and `f32::powi` have unspecified precision, which means that the exact details of their output are not guaranteed to be stable across different systems and/or versions of Rust. This means that users of bevy_math could observe slightly different behavior on different systems if these methods were used. The goal of this PR is to make it so that the `libm` feature flag actually guarantees some degree of determinacy within bevy_math itself by switching to the libm versions of these functions when the `libm` feature is enabled. ## Solution bevy_math now has an internal module `bevy_math::ops`, which re-exports either the standard versions of the operations or the libm versions depending on whether the `libm` feature is enabled. For example, `ops::sin` compiles to `f32::sin` without the `libm` feature and to `libm::sinf` with it. This approach has a small shortfall, which is that `f32::powi` (integer powers of floating point numbers) does not have an equivalent in `libm`. On the other hand, this method is only used for squaring and cubing numbers in bevy_math. Accordingly, this deficit is covered by the introduction of a trait `ops::FloatPow`: ```rust pub(crate) trait FloatPow { fn squared(self) -> Self; fn cubed(self) -> Self; } ``` Next, each current usage of the unspecified-precision methods has been replaced by its equivalent in `ops`, so that when `libm` is enabled, the libm version is used instead. The exception, of course, is that `.powi(2)`/`.powi(3)` have been replaced with `.squared()`/`.cubed()`. Finally, the usage of the plain `f32` methods with unspecified precision is now linted out of bevy_math (and hence disallowed in CI). For example, using `f32::sin` within bevy_math produces a warning that tells the user to use the `ops::sin` version instead. ## Testing Ran existing tests. It would be nice to check some benchmarks on NURBS things once #14677 merges. I'm happy to wait until then if the rest of this PR is fine. --- ## Discussion In the future, it might make sense to actually expose `bevy_math::ops` as public if any downstream Bevy crates want to provide similar determinacy guarantees. For now, it's all just `pub(crate)`. This PR also only covers `f32`. If we find ourselves using `f64` internally in parts of bevy_math for better robustness, we could extend the module and lints to cover the `f64` versions easily enough. I don't know how feasible it is, but it would also be nice if we could standardize the bevy_math tests with the `libm` feature in CI, since their success is currently platform-dependent (e.g. 8 of them fail on my machine when run locally). --------- Co-authored-by: IQuick 143 <IQuick143cz@gmail.com> |

What is Bevy?
Bevy is a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. It is free and open-source forever!
WARNING
Bevy is still in the early stages of development. Important features are missing. Documentation is sparse. A new version of Bevy containing breaking changes to the API is released approximately once every 3 months. We provide migration guides, but we can't guarantee migrations will always be easy. Use only if you are willing to work in this environment.
MSRV: Bevy relies heavily on improvements in the Rust language and compiler. As a result, the Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is generally close to "the latest stable release" of Rust.
Design Goals
- Capable: Offer a complete 2D and 3D feature set
- Simple: Easy for newbies to pick up, but infinitely flexible for power users
- Data Focused: Data-oriented architecture using the Entity Component System paradigm
- Modular: Use only what you need. Replace what you don't like
- Fast: App logic should run quickly, and when possible, in parallel
- Productive: Changes should compile quickly ... waiting isn't fun

Contributing
If you'd like to help build Bevy, check out the Contributor's Guide. For simple problems, feel free to open an issue or PR and tackle it yourself!
For more complex architecture decisions and experimental mad science, please open an RFC (Request For Comments) so we can brainstorm together effectively!
Getting Started
We recommend checking out the Quick Start Guide for a brief introduction.
Follow the Setup guide to ensure your development environment is set up correctly. Once set up, you can quickly try out the examples by cloning this repo and running the following commands:
# Switch to the correct version (latest release, default is main development branch)
git checkout latest
# Runs the "breakout" example
cargo run --example breakout
To draw a window with standard functionality enabled, use:
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main(){
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.run();
}
Fast Compiles
Bevy can be built just fine using default configuration on stable Rust. However for really fast iterative compiles, you should enable the "fast compiles" setup by following the instructions here.
Bevy Cargo Features
This list outlines the different cargo features supported by Bevy. These allow you to customize the Bevy feature set for your use-case.
Thanks
Bevy is the result of the hard work of many people. A huge thanks to all Bevy contributors, the many open source projects that have come before us, the Rust gamedev ecosystem, and the many libraries we build on.
A huge thanks to Bevy's generous sponsors. Bevy will always be free and open source, but it isn't free to make. Please consider sponsoring our work if you like what we're building.
This project is tested with BrowserStack.
License
Bevy is free, open source and permissively licensed! Except where noted (below and/or in individual files), all code in this repository is dual-licensed under either:
- MIT License (LICENSE-MIT or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
- Apache License, Version 2.0 (LICENSE-APACHE or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)
at your option. This means you can select the license you prefer! This dual-licensing approach is the de-facto standard in the Rust ecosystem and there are very good reasons to include both.
Some of the engine's code carries additional copyright notices and license terms due to their external origins.
These are generally BSD-like, but exact details vary by crate:
If the README of a crate contains a 'License' header (or similar), the additional copyright notices and license terms applicable to that crate will be listed.
The above licensing requirement still applies to contributions to those crates, and sections of those crates will carry those license terms.
The license field of each crate will also reflect this.
For example, bevy_mikktspace has code under the Zlib license (as well as a copyright notice when choosing the MIT license).
The assets included in this repository (for our examples) typically fall under different open licenses. These will not be included in your game (unless copied in by you), and they are not distributed in the published bevy crates. See CREDITS.md for the details of the licenses of those files.
Your contributions
Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.
