Allow CTAD only for floating point types without any promotion.

What is the rational behind promoting integral types to float instead of double like it is done in the standard library math functions?

Also why should we enable mixing types rather than being strict?

What is the rational behind promoting integral types to float instead of double like it is done in the standard library math functions?

Originally I was thinking performance as operations with floats on GPUs are much faster than with doubles.

However, you asking the questions makes me think. Not all integers are represented with floats. Even fewer long ints are represented with floats. So maybe that's why the standard library converts integers to doubles by default, as all 32-bit integers can be represented by doubles.

At the same time, not all 64-bit integers are represented by doubles either.

I guess we need to decide when this utility is useful, and what assumptions go into it.
Removing it would require us to always having to cast, like Point{0.f, 1.f} or Point{i}.

Also why should we enable mixing types rather than being strict?

Mostly so that Point{.3f, 0} would work.

I'd slightly prefer having separate functions for the different types.

Not tested but it feels like we would potentially enable deductions we did not mean to with your version

I think you version would not deduce Box{{float}, {float}}.

I thought we were only enabling CTAD for arithmetic types. Is that not what the intent was?

I had a dual intent: enable conversion for arithmetic types, and allow CTAD for a single type.

I have mixed feelings about the promotion of integral types if all other types are treated differently and we don't spell out any constraint.

I think I understand your concern. However, I would not want Point(0, 0, 0) to produce Point<3, int>.

Why do we have both T and Ts?

So that we could check that all types are identical. It feels easier than trying to get the first type from a parameter pack.

I thought users may benefit from that one too. I don't have a strong need for it at the moment.

I think users may expect both Point(a, b, c) and Point({a, b, c}) working.

Is there a good use cases for allowing Coordinate to be integral or should we just restrict to floating point types (and don't try to convert anything)?

The only current use case is in our tests, like ArborX::Point{0, 0, 0}. Those would all require changes. Otherwise, I think not allowing integral types could be ok.

I think enforcing the the type of the constructor parameters to match and use as Coordinate would be the most straightforward then.

seems to do the job just fine, see https://godbolt.org/z/hMM69qGPr. The error messages are better when the decution guide doesn't constraint to floating point types bu the class has a corresponding static_assert.

I don't think it's a good idea to put that static assert in the class. If a user really points to use Point<D,int>, we should let them do that.

Drop the decay and if Ts are the same as T and T is a floating point you don't need to check that Ts are floating points

Why would we then restrict the deduction guide at all?

I think that Point{0,0,0} resulting in Point<3, int> may not be what most user expect. I'd rather have them explicitly write Point<3, int>{0, 0, 0}.

@dalg24 @masterleinad Any objections to merging this?

I'm still not liking it too much that we restrict CTAD but not the class itself. Maybe, that really is a separate question but the error messages when trying CTAD with, say, int arguments aren't very good.

OK. I made CTAD as simple as possible. It does not do any checks on the types anymore.

OK, this version should be good enough. If we change our minds, we'll change it before the release.
