Floating point voodoo #1
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008This is kind of cool:
float Lifetime = FLT_MAX; // Use FLT_MAX for “infinite lifetime”
Lifetime -= 1.0f; // Or elapsed time or whatever, small value
=> the IEEE float machinery is such that “Lifetime” doesn’t change in this case. So an infinite lifetime is really infinite, automagically
