# TypedArray Factory Functions - Integration Complete

## Summary

Successfully integrated factory functions into `src/typed-array.hh` to provide clearer, more intuitive interfaces for creating TypedArray instances.

## What Was Added

Added **15 factory functions** to `src/typed-array.hh` (lines 2376-2614):

### TypedArray Factory Functions (Smart Pointer Wrapper)
1. `MakeOwnedTypedArray<T>(ptr)` - For owned arrays (will delete)
2. `MakeDedupTypedArray<T>(ptr)` - For deduplicated/cached arrays (won't delete)
3. `MakeSharedTypedArray<T>(ptr)` - For shared arrays (alias for dedup)
4. `MakeMmapTypedArray<T>(ptr)` - For memory-mapped arrays (won't delete)

### TypedArrayImpl Factory Functions (Array Implementation)
5. `MakeTypedArrayCopy<T>(data, count)` - Copy data into owned storage
6. `MakeTypedArrayView<T>(data, count)` - Non-owning view over external memory
7. `MakeTypedArrayMmap<T>(data, count)` - Non-owning view for mmap (alias)
8. `MakeTypedArrayReserved<T>(capacity)` - Empty array with reserved capacity

### Combined Convenience Functions
9. `CreateOwnedTypedArray<T>(data, count)` - Create owned from data (one call)
10. `CreateOwnedTypedArray<T>(count)` - Create owned with size (uninitialized)
11. `CreateOwnedTypedArray<T>(count, value)` - Create owned with default value
12. `CreateDedupTypedArray<T>(ptr)` - Wrap as deduplicated
13. `CreateMmapTypedArray<T>(data, count)` - Create mmap in one call
14. `DuplicateTypedArray<T>(source)` - Deep copy TypedArray
15. `DuplicateTypedArrayImpl<T>(source)` - Deep copy TypedArrayImpl

## Location

File: `src/typed-array.hh`
Lines: 2376-2614 (239 lines added)
Position: Right before the closing `} // namespace tinyusdz`

## Verification

✅ **Compilation Test Passed**

Created and compiled test file `/tmp/test_factory_functions.cc` that exercises all 15 factory functions. All functions compile successfully with:
- Compiler: g++-13
- Standard: C++14
- No errors or warnings

## Usage Examples

### Before (Confusing)
```cpp
TypedArray<T>(ptr, true);   // ❌ What does 'true' mean?
TypedArray<T>(ptr, false);  // ❌ What does 'false' mean?
```

### After (Clear)
```cpp
MakeDedupTypedArray(ptr);   // ✅ Clear: deduplicated
MakeOwnedTypedArray(ptr);   // ✅ Clear: owned
```

### Common Patterns

#### Deduplication Cache
```cpp
auto it = _dedup_float_array.find(value_rep);
if (it != _dedup_float_array.end()) {
    return MakeDedupTypedArray(it->second.get());
}
```

#### Memory-Mapped Files
```cpp
float* mmap_data = static_cast<float*>(mmap_ptr);
TypedArray<float> arr = CreateMmapTypedArray(mmap_data, count);
```

#### Creating Owned Arrays
```cpp
float data[] = {1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f};
TypedArray<float> arr = CreateOwnedTypedArray(data, 3);
```

## Benefits

✅ **Self-Documenting** - Function names clearly indicate intent
✅ **Type-Safe** - No confusing boolean flags
✅ **Zero Overhead** - All inline, same performance
✅ **Backward Compatible** - Existing code still works
✅ **Easy Migration** - Can adopt gradually

## Implementation Details

- All functions are inline templates
- Zero runtime overhead (optimized away by compiler)
- Comprehensive Doxygen documentation
- Usage examples in every function comment
- Organized into logical sections with clear headers

## Migration Path

The old constructor-based API still works:
```cpp
// Old way (still works)
TypedArray<T>(ptr, true);

// New way (preferred)
MakeDedupTypedArray(ptr);
```

Migrate gradually:
1. ✅ Factory functions added (DONE)
2. 🔜 Update crate-reader.cc dedup code (NEXT)
3. 🔜 Update timesamples.hh (NEXT)
4. 🔜 Update other uses over time

## Next Steps

To use these factory functions in the codebase:

1. **Update Deduplication Code** (`src/crate-reader.cc`):
   ```cpp
   // Replace: TypedArray<T>(impl, true)
   // With:    MakeDedupTypedArray(impl)
   ```

2. **Update TimeSamples** (`src/timesamples.hh`):
   ```cpp
   // Replace: TypedArray<T>(ptr, true)
   // With:    MakeDedupTypedArray(ptr)
   ```

3. **Document Usage**: Update relevant docs to recommend factory functions
