This discussion makes me wonder if the basic element-wise operations could (should?) be special cased for contiguous arrays, reducing them to simple pointer incrementing from the start to the finish of the data block. The same code would work for C and Fortran order arrays, and be pretty simple.
This would address Hans' issue, no? It's a special case but a common one. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
