Every single one of these inherited classes exposes one or more static template methods to facilitate drawing such that you can do like draw::line(...), draw::filled_rectangle(...) or draw::text(...)
It's not just one liner classes either. Most of these are at least a page. I had to start the inherited classes with "x" to move them down the autocomplete list in vs code so they don't get in the way.
Yesterday this was all in a single 5000 line header. This morning I finished refactoring and integrating. Woo!

I don't use pragma once for these files because this way i get breadcrumbs that let me know which files have been included already. I have yet to need that, but I wanted it in case I ended up needing it.

I'm simplifying my graphics library.
I'm moving the responsibility for async operations, and other driver related nonsense outside the library.
There are a number of reasons for it, KISS being the overarching philosophy. Previously I had tightly coupled drivers for this library for a bunch of display devices and platforms under Arduino but it's sort of out of scope of just graphics operations themselves.
Now I have a draw on demand library that builds on my graphics library, draws as needed, and renders bitmaps to send to the display. There's very little need for a tightly coupled driver interface anymore.
That means my capabilities queryable parameters get reduced significantly, no more read, async, or suspend. It's not necessary.
But man, removing those breaks everything. I have endless template specializations for the various capabilities, like drawing synchronously vs asynchronously, or drawing on devices where readback isn't available (nixing things like alpha-blending and anti-aliasing). I don't need those anymore, but we're talking hundreds and hundreds of compile errors.
Taking a break in the middle of it is difficult because getting back into it is tough.
Adding features is easy by comparison.

Absolutely.
That's one of the reasons why code usually become more complicated over time.
|
|
|
|
|
I'd say new capabilities is why a system gets larger and more complicated over time. Without refactoring, new capabilities become harder to add to the original architecture. But inside almost every system is a smaller system, struggling to get out. So if customers stopped their feature requests, refactoring could slowly shrink the code base, eventually reducing it to zero.

If customers stop their feature requests, which would come first, refactoring shrinking the code base to zero, or the need for developers reduced to zero?
