XMVECTORF32 Data Type

An opaque, portable type to support the use of C/C++ initializer syntax to load floating-point values into an instance of XMVECTOR type.

typedef XMVECTORF32 vectorf32;

Remarks

For a list of additional functionality, such as constructors and operators, available using XMVECTORF32 when programming in C++, see XMVECTORF32 Extensions.

The XMVECTORF32, XMVECTORU32, XMVECTORI32, and XMVECTORU8 structures are provided as a mechanism for creating XMVECTOR from different constant data types (floating point, unsigned integer, integer, and byte) using initializers.

This is necessary to support XMVECTOR, as it does not itself support initializers, for portability and optimization reasons.

For example:

XMVECTOR data;
XMVECTORF32 floatingVector = { 0.f, 0.f, 0.1f, 1.f };
data = floatingVector;
