refactor(view): Simplify View angle normalization - #2271
Conversation
Greptile Overview
|
| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| Core/GameEngine/Include/GameClient/View.h | Added documentation comments clarifying that angle members are expected to be normalized |
| Core/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/View.cpp | Modified setAngle() to normalize input using WWMath::Normalize_Angle(), minor signature formatting in setAngleToDefault() |
| Core/GameEngineDevice/Source/W3DDevice/GameClient/W3DView.cpp | Refactored all direct m_angle assignments to use View::setAngle(), removed redundant normalization calls, addressed previous review concern about oldZRot normalization |

Comment:
**Angle not normalized**
`View::setAngle` normalizes with `while (angle >= ...) angle -= ...` / `while (angle < ...) angle += ...`. If `angle` can ever become non-finite (NaN/Inf) (e.g., from upstream math), those loops won’t terminate (NaN makes both comparisons false; Inf makes them spin forever). Consider guarding `setAngle` with a finite check (e.g. `if (!std::isfinite(angle)) angle = 0;`) or otherwise handling this explicitly so one bad input can’t hang the game loop.
How can I resolve this? If you propose a fix, please make it concise. |

Where do you see that loop? This is how the normalize function looks like: WWINLINE float WWMath::Normalize_Angle(float angle)
{
return angle - (WWMATH_TWO_PI * Floor((angle + WWMATH_PI) / WWMATH_TWO_PI));
} |

You're absolutely right - I apologize for the confusion. Looking at the actual The function works by:
This is a standard, efficient mathematical normalization - no iterative loop involved. My earlier concern about potential performance issues from repeated calls was misplaced. This approach is actually optimal for angle normalization. |
This change simplifies the View angle normalization. All changes to
View::m_anglenow go throughView::setAngle.User facing nothing should change.
