NORMALIZE(3clc)

💖 NORMALIZE(3clc) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenCL Manual, section 3clc — today's main character is normalize, and she's literally just here to make your vectors the right length. no cap. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

normalize — Normal vector length 1.

floatn normalize(floatn p);

doublen normalize(doublen p);

gentype normalize (gentype p)      //
if half extension enabled

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Gives you back a vector pointing the exact same way as p, but with a length of 1. same direction, new length, glow-up complete. 💅

---

📝 NOTES 📝

k so here's the tea, and it matters:

• The built-in geometric functions work component-wise. The description? Per-component. every single one of them, no exceptions.
• floatn means float, float2, float3, or float4. doublen means double, double2, double3, or double4. that's the whole roster, periodt.
• These built-in geometric functions are implemented using the round to nearest even rounding mode. iconic behavior, honestly.
• The geometric functions can be implemented using contractions such as mad(3clc) or fma(3clc). slay.
• If extended with cl_khr_fp16(3clc), the generic type name gentype may indicate half and half{2|3|4} as arguments and return values. half girlies get to play too 🫶
