# 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 Self; } ``` Next, each current usage of the unspecified-precision methods has been replaced by its equivalent in `ops`, so that when `libm` is enabled, the libm version is used instead.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>
