Scroll down for important stuff .. first: The latest code can do this: ////////////////// var a: int ^ 6 = (1,2,3,4,5,6); println$ (case 1 of 6) a;
var k = case 1 of 6; println$ k a; var pa = &a; var pb = C_hack::cast[&(int ^ (3 * 2))] pa; var b = *pb; println$ b . (case 0 of 3, case 0 of 2); println$ b . (case 0 of 3, case 1 of 2); println$ b . (case 1 of 3, case 0 of 2); println$ b . (case 1 of 3, case 1 of 2); println$ b . (case 2 of 3, case 0 of 2); println$ b . (case 2 of 3, case 1 of 2); //////////////////////// The cast above is a hack to get a suitable array to index. BTW: I'm not sure if the column/row order is right :) The generated C++ looks like this: _a8610t_64393 _tmp64411 = ::flx::rtl::strutil::str<int>(PTF b.data[(_tt64398(2, 0).mem_0*2+_tt64398(2, 0).mem_1)]) + ::std::string("\n") ; Not very optimal, but it works. The Ocaml code to make this work is special cased just to see what happens: | BEXPR_get_n ( (_,BTYP_tuple [BTYP_unitsum j1;BTYP_unitsum k1]) as idx, (e',(BTYP_array (_,BTYP_tuple [BTYP_unitsum j2; BTYP_unitsum k2])) as e2)) -> print_endline "Detected array indexed by unitsum * unitsum"; assert (j1 = j2); assert (k1 = k2); let n = Flx_vgen.gen_get_case_index ge' bsym_table idx in let n1 = ce_dot n "mem_0" in let n2 = ce_dot n "mem_1" in let lidx = ce_infix"+" (ce_infix "*" n1 (ce_atom (string_of_int k1))) n2 in ce_array (ce_dot (ge' e2) "data") lidx Ok, so clearly, this is easily generalised to a tuple of arbitrary length each component of which is a unitsum. This means indexes like (1,2,3) for a 3 dimensional array, and so on for higher rank. But what about a more general combination of tuples and sums? Just with more tuples and unitsums, think about index of type 3 * ( 2 * 2) * 4 with values like: (1, (1,0), 3) What's that all mean? My brain can't work in so many dimensions so lets reduce it: 100 * (2 * 2) Clearly this is a vector of little 2 x 2 matrices. On the hand this 2 * 2 * (25 *25) appears to be a 2 x 2 matrix with each component a 25 * 25 matrix. in other words a "block matrix". -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
