💖 GEOMETRIC BUILT-IN 💖

okay bestie, welcome to GEOMETRIC BUILT-IN(3clc) — the lil corner of the OpenCL Manual where all the vector-math cuties live. it's giving math class but make it slay ✨

✨ NAME ✨

Geometric_Built-In_Functions — tap an item in the list below for the deets on that function, fr fr. no gatekeeping here, every single one is linked and ready 🫶

• cross(3clc) — Cross product
• dot(3clc) — Dot product
• distance(3clc) — Vector distance
• length(3clc) — Vector length
• normalize(3clc) — Normal vector length 1
• fast_distance(3clc) — Vector distance
• fast_length(3clc) — Vector length
• fast_normalize(3clc) — Normal vector length 1

not me turning the original's cute little table into a bullet list bc tables said "not today" 💀 but every entry, every page number, every description? intact. periodt.
