Background
constexpr
square root in aRequire
function to make sure overflow would not result when an input value was squared. I thought this was a good idea because thesqrt(std::numeric_limits<double>::max)
was previously being computed every time through this loop. Unfortunately, it seems that debug code versions were not evaluating this expression at compile time and it was causing very slow runtimes and even more problems under profiling (thece_sqrt
is not an efficient version ofsqrt
it's just one that can be markedconstexpr
!). This PR removes the ce_sqrt call and replaces it with the sqrt of the max double. There is a comment explaining the magic number.Purpose of Pull Request
