This library works perfectly with OpenGL but it also ensures interoperability with other third party libraries and SDK. It is a good candidate for software rendering (Raytracing / Rasterisation), image processing, physic simulations and any context that requires a simple and convenient mathematics library.
\note The Doxygen-generated documentation will often state that a type or function
is defined in a namespace that is a child of the \link glm glm \endlink namespace.
Please ignore this; you can access all publicly available types as direct children
of the glm namespace.
GLM is written as a platform independent library with no dependence and officially supports the following compilers:
1. GCC 3.4 and higher
2. LLVM 2.3 through GCC 4.2 front-end and higher
3. Visual Studio 2005 and higher

GLM's functions are defined in headers, so they are defined with C++'s "inline" delcaration.
This does not require the compiler to inline them, however.
If you want to force the compiler to inline the function, using whatever capabilities that the compiler provides to do so,
you can define GLM_FORCE_INLINE before any inclusion of <glm/glm.hpp>.

Compilers have some language extensions that GLM will automatically take advantage of them when they are enabled.
The #define GLM_FORCE_CXX98 can switch off these extensions, forcing GLM to operate on pure C++98.

\section faq7 Should I use 'using namespace glm;'?
This is unwise. There is every chance that are that if 'using namespace glm;' is called, name collisions will happen. GLSL names for functions are fairly generic, so it is entirely likely that there is another function called, for example, \link glm::sqrt sqrt \endlink.

GLM is mainly designed to be convenient; that's why it is written against GLSL specification.
The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle">80-20</a> rule suggests that 80% of a program's performance comes from 20% of its code. Therefore, one must first identify which 20% of the code is impacting the performance.

Therefore, one should first identify which 20% of the code is impacting the performance.
In general, if one identifies certain math code to be a performance bottleneck, the only way to solve this is to write specialized code for those particular math needs. So no canned library solution would be suitable.

That being said, GLM can provides some descent performances alternatives based on approximations or SIMD instructions.
