How to get rid of experimental GLM_GTX_component_wise

[armagedescu]

Hi,
Please provide a way to get rid of experimental components by default, silently. Provide way to enable them for ONLY the ones who really wants to use them.
While upgrading any other libraries (glew, glfw, stb, assimp....), the upgrading went seamlessly.

There is experimental GLM_GTX_component_wise which I don't want to use but it is inserted in lots of headers, for instance norm.hpp.
When I compile with glm fresh clone from GitHub (1.0.2?) there is a compile error.. Why the error suggesting that I fail to use some experimental extension? I don't intend and don't want to use it. I see the fix for "... if you really want to use it.", but what if I really want to NOT use it? My intention is to use glm without experimenting and without polluting the code with defines, which is lots of sources actually.

That is introduced in following file, and not only:
/glm/glm/gtx/component_wise.hpp
Compile error, explicitly caused by following lines

#ifndef GLM_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL
#	error "GLM: GLM_GTX_component_wise is an experimental extension and may change in the future. Use #define GLM_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL before including it, if you really want to use it."
#elif GLM_MESSAGES == GLM_ENABLE && !defined(GLM_EXT_INCLUDED)
#	pragma message("GLM: GLM_GTX_component_wise extension included")
#endif

The problem started when I switched from glm-0.9.9.7 to glm-1.0.1, and the latest GitHub revision (v1.0.2?) has the same problem.

Add a simple #define GLM_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL before it and keep working? The component_wise.hpp isn't a risk to your code, since it's encapsulated in the glm namespace anyway. Yes it's sub-optimal, and should probably not be labeled as experimental anymore, but it won't harm you much if you don't use it. Your compile time might increase by a millisecond for your precompiled headers, but at least you won't get stuck on this error in the meantime.

This is annoying nonsense. A simple #define is pollution. This #define doesn't fix any sub optimals. So you should keep them under the hood, not on the windshield.
