GLM can be configured to support Vulkan's coordinate system, which is incompatible with OpenGL's. I'm not sure where in vkguide this is being done, as it's not mentioned anywhere explicitly. I think this is the source of the confusion.

Our GLSL compatibility assumes OpenGL, not Vulkan. I'm in favor of supplying a vulkan compatible perspective transform, but the note referring to vkguide isn't appropriate in core.

@JesseRMeyer where would be the best place to put something like a vulkan compatible perspective transform function? If I made a directory + file "core:math/linalg/vulkan/linalg_vulkan.odin" and started work on implementing vulkan-compatible math functions, would that be welcome?

The only way vkguide influences the compilation of glm is by defining the macro #GLM_FORCE_DEPTH_ZERO_TO_ONE, which ends up compiling this code in glm:

#ifdef GLM_FORCE_DEPTH_ZERO_TO_ONE
#	ifdef GLM_FORCE_LEFT_HANDED
#		define GLM_CONFIG_CLIP_CONTROL GLM_CLIP_CONTROL_LH_ZO
#	else
#		define GLM_CONFIG_CLIP_CONTROL GLM_CLIP_CONTROL_RH_ZO
#	endif
#else
#	ifdef GLM_FORCE_LEFT_HANDED
#		define GLM_CONFIG_CLIP_CONTROL GLM_CLIP_CONTROL_LH_NO
#	else
#		define GLM_CONFIG_CLIP_CONTROL GLM_CLIP_CONTROL_RH_NO
#	endif
#endif

which ends up compiling this function for perspective projection.
