The problem with the current MIN/MAX macros is that they evaluate twice
the arguments. For example, these cases provide unintended results:
// a is incremented twice
a = MIN(a++, b);
// foo() with side-effects
a = MIN(foo(), b);
The alternative implementation here was provided by Daniel Frenzel using
template function. It doesn't have type safety as std::min and std::max,
but adding type safety would mean to check case by case what would be a
reasonable type and add proper casts. Here the arguments for MIN and MAX
can have different types and the return type is deduced from the
expression in the function.
Inspecting the current callers no place was found with the unintended
results above, but some in which now we don't calculate twice the
parameters will benefit from this new version. Examples:
float velocity_max = MIN(_pos_control.get_speed_xy(), safe_sqrt(0.5f*_pos_control.get_accel_xy()*_radius));
float acro_level_mix = constrain_float(1-MAX(MAX(abs(roll_in), abs(pitch_in)), abs(yaw_in))/4500.0, 0, 1)*ahrs.cos_pitch()
accel_x_cmss = (GRAVITY_MSS * 100) * (-(_ahrs.cos_yaw() * _ahrs.sin_pitch() / MAX(_ahrs.cos_pitch(),0.5f)) - _ahrs.sin_yaw() * _ahrs.sin_roll() / MAX(_ahrs.cos_roll(),0.5f));
track_leash_slack = MIN(_track_leash_length*(leash_z-track_error_z)/leash_z, _track_leash_length*(leash_xy-track_error_xy)/leash_xy);
RC_Channel_aux::move_servo(RC_Channel_aux::k_sprayer_pump, MIN(MAX(ground_speed * _pump_pct_1ms, 100 *_pump_min_pct),10000),0,10000);
The problem with using min() and max() is that they conflict with some
C++ headers. Name the macros in uppercase instead. We may go case by
case later converting them to be typesafe.

Remove the checks for HAL_CPU_CLASS > HAL_CPU_CLASS_16 and
HAL_CPU_CLASS >= HAL_CPU_CLASS_75. Corresponding dead code will be
removed on separate commits.
compile time optimization
Functions like sq() are better moved to the header file as inline.
Compiler can then optimize these out when used in code, this saves cpu
cycles with stack push, pop during function calls.
This commit changes the way libraries headers are included in source files:
- If the header is in the same directory the source belongs to, so the
notation '#include ""' is used with the path relative to the directory
containing the source.
- If the header is outside the directory containing the source, then we use
the notation '#include <>' with the path relative to libraries folder.
Some of the advantages of such approach:
- Only one search path for libraries headers.
- OSs like Windows may have a better lookup time.
per Randy's suggestion, fast_atan2() is no longer necessary over atan2() because only copter uses it and copter is no longer supported on future builds of APM
ccd578664f (commitcomment-11025083)
this avoids manipulating global coordinates as float variables. Using
a float reduces our precision from 1cm to about 70cm.
This also adds location_diff() which will be used in the L1 controller
to avoid global positions in floats
- Define float versions of math functions to the double versions
on AVR (eg. #define sinf sin).
- These macros appear to be missing in older versions of avr-libs.
- Include AP_Math.h rather than math.h to get these definitions.
- Allows use of hardware floating point on the Cortex-M4.
- Added "f" suffix to floating point literals.
- Call floating point versions of stdlib math functions.
* I mostly went through with grep and added an #include <AP_Param.h> below
every #include <AP_Common.h>. Not all of these example sketches might
strictly need AP_Param.
The vector classes are light adaptations of work by Bill Perone
(billperone@yahoo.com), the Matrix3 class draws on them for
inspiration.
Bill's matrix classes are too heavyweight and not templated, so
they're less suitable for us here.
This code compiles, and some trivial tests seem to work, but
it should not be considered "golden" yet.
