glm::perspective explanation

Question

I am trying to understand what the following code does:

glm::mat4 Projection = glm::perspective(35.0f, 1.0f, 0.1f, 100.0f);

Does it create

Answer 1

This is a c standalone version of the same function. This is roughly a copy paste version of the original.

# include 
# include 
# include 

typedef struct s_mat {
    float *array;
    int width;
    int height;
} t_mat;

t_mat *mat_new(int width, int height)
{
    t_mat *to_return;

    to_return = (t_mat*)malloc(sizeof(t_mat));
    to_return->array = malloc(width * height * sizeof(float));
    to_return->width = width;
    to_return->height = height;
    return (to_return);
}

void mat_zero(t_mat *dest)
{
    bzero(dest->array, dest->width * dest->height * sizeof(float));
}

void mat_set(t_mat *m, int x, int y, float val)
{
    if (m == NULL || x > m->width || y > m->height)
        return ;
    m->array[m->width * (y - 1) + (x - 1)] = val;
}

t_mat *mat_perspective(float angle, float ratio,
        float near, float far)
{
    t_mat *to_return;
    float tan_half_angle;

    to_return = mat_new(4, 4);
    mat_zero(to_return);
    tan_half_angle = tan(angle / 2);
    mat_set(to_return, 1, 1, 1 / (ratio * tan_half_angle));
    mat_set(to_return, 2, 2, 1 / (tan_half_angle));
    mat_set(to_return, 3, 3, -(far + near) / (far - near));
    mat_set(to_return, 4, 3, -1);
    mat_set(to_return, 3, 4, -(2 * far * near) / (far - near));
    return (to_return);
}
