Instance Method Details

#inspect ⇒ Object

Returns a serializable string for a given type.

Output is defined as ‘<Type:Address Elements>`. For example:

Vec4[1, 2, 3, 4]   # => <Snow::Vec4:0x7f831981f5e0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0>

# The following example inner Vec3's elements have been made 0.0 even
# though they would ordinarily be garbage values.
Vec3Array[1]       # => <Snow::Vec3Array:0x7fe193b297a0 <Snow::Vec3:0x7fe193b297a0 0.0 0.0 0.0>>

Bear in mind that the address may not be useful for serialization beyond determining when a given object has already been deserialized. You may want to treat it as semi-unique ID if serializing a math object, though there is absolutely no guarantee it will be unique between allocations and deallocations, as memory may obviously be reused.
