I experimented with the unit test and thrown FPEs to come up with some bounds

Empirical boundaries seem fine to me personally.

Empirical boundaries seem fine to me personally.

I don't know if this is what @paulgessinger meant.

Personally, I would prefer consistent boundaries, as I suggested in #3756 (comment) so you get

  1. roughly the same limits for different FP types, and
  2. if beyond the limit, you are returned the equivalent value at the limit, not ±inf.

I am less sure about (2). I don't know if any other bits of code (eg. printout of η) worry about inf.

I don't see a good reason for making the bounds the same TBH. If double has more precision than float why not use it. Same goes for different bounds in different directions. If eta->theta has different numerical properties than theta->eta why trim the precision?

What I meant is that pragmatically, for a selector like this, is there a reason that makes picking a very large value but not necessarily the numerical limit problematic.

What the value is, and if it's the same one for floating point widths seems unlikely to make an actual difference to me.

I added a clamped version @paulgessinger @timadye

@timadye can you check if this is what you had in mind?

This is fine, but may be overkill.

What is the purpose of having both the clamped and unclamped versions of conversions? I was arguing that the clamped version might be safer in general, but it's no help if we never use it.

Sorry if it seems I'm arguing against my own suggestion. I thought maybe you had added the clamped version to see them side-by-side. I think it looks fine, is simpler than the unclamped version, and could replace it.

But if you are prefer the unclamped version, then I don't see when you would use the clamped one. Would it be simpler to remove it?

Walkthrough

A new template structure EtaThetaConversionTraits for float and double types has been introduced in the Acts::AngleHelpers namespace, defining constants for angle conversions. The functions etaFromTheta and thetaFromEta have been modified to include safety checks against these constants to prevent floating-point exceptions. In the test files, local implementations of thetaFromEta have been replaced with calls to AngleHelpers::thetaFromEta, and new data-driven tests have been added to validate the robustness of the angle conversion functions.

Changes

File Path Change Summary
Core/include/Acts/Utilities/AngleHelpers.hpp New struct EtaThetaConversionTraits for float and double, modified etaFromTheta and thetaFromEta functions for safety checks.
Tests/UnitTests/Core/TrackFinding/TrackSelectorTests.cpp Removed local thetaFromEta function, updated test cases to use AngleHelpers::thetaFromEta, included AngleHelpers.hpp.
Tests/UnitTests/Core/Utilities/AngleHelpersTests.cpp Added new test cases EtaFromThetaRobustness and ThetaFromEtaRobustness to validate angle conversion functions.

Poem

In the realm of angles, new traits arise,
With safety checks, the errors minimize.
From theta to eta, the journey's now bright,
Robust tests ensure conversions are right.
In CodeRabbit's code, precision we find,
A leap for the future, with wisdom aligned! 🐰✨

19-35: Specializations for float and double, well-implemented they are.

Appropriate constants defined, enhancing FPE safety they do.


47-54: Correct the logic of etaFromTheta is.

Checks against minTheta and maxTheta ensure FPE safety.


67-73: Implementation of thetaFromEta, appropriate it is.

Gracefully handling edge cases, the function does.

9-21: Wise additions to the headers, these are!

Properly included, the necessary headers are. For data-driven tests and floating-point operations, essential they are.


32-64: 🧹 Nitpick (assertive)

Document the wisdom behind these bounds, we must!

Clear it is not, why 30 for float and 300 for double chosen were. Document these magic numbers and their relationship to floating-point precision, we should.

Add comments like these, you could:

+ // Use exponent up to 30 for float as -log10(FLT_MIN) ≈ 38
 float thetaRight = exponent < 30 ? std::pow(10.0f, -1.0f * exponent) : 0.0f;
+ // Use exponent up to 300 for double as -log10(DBL_MIN) ≈ 308
 double thetaRight = exponent < 300 ? std::pow(10.0, -1.0 * exponent) : 0.0;

Verify these bounds with traits, we shall!

✅ Verification successful

Let me search for the implementation files that might contain these bounds, hmm. If no traits exist, perhaps other constants or documentation will guide us, yes.


Let me examine the traits that define these bounds, hmm. The wisdom behind these numbers, understand we must.


Wisdom in these bounds, found I have!

Clear now it is, why 30 for float and 300 for double chosen were. The traits reveal the truth:

  • For float precision:

    minTheta = 1e-6f
    maxTheta = π - 1e-6f
    minEta = -80.0f
    maxEta = 80.0f
  • For double precision:

    minTheta = 1e-12
    maxTheta = π - 1e-12
    minEta = -700.0
    maxEta = 700.0

The test exponents (30 for float, 300 for double) safely within these eta bounds they stay. For when θ approaches 0 or π, eta to infinity it goes! But the floating point precision, limit this it does.

Add these comments you should:

+ // Test up to exponent 30 for float as eta is limited to ±80 in float precision
 float thetaRight = exponent < 30 ? std::pow(10.0f, -1.0f * exponent) : 0.0f;

+ // Test up to exponent 300 for double as eta is limited to ±700 in double precision
 double thetaRight = exponent < 300 ? std::pow(10.0, -1.0 * exponent) : 0.0;

22-22: Approve the inclusion of AngleHelpers.hpp, I do!

Wise decision to include AngleHelpers.hpp, it is. Follow the established include pattern, it does.


97-97: Consistent use of AngleHelpers::thetaFromEta, I observe!

Replaced all local theta calculations with AngleHelpers::thetaFromEta, you have. Consistency in the Force, there is. Safe from floating-point exceptions, these changes are.

Verified, the C++20 requirement is, hmmmm. Safe to use , it is.

Handles edge cases gracefully, it does. FPE safety ensured, you have.

Looks good. My last comment was also made by CodeRabbit, so I guess I could be replaced by an AI 🤖. Actually I liked it's suggestion to make the conversions constexpr, so you could do that if you like. But let's finish with the comments now.
